What type of succession are pioneer organisms involved?
they are the last organisms to appear.
Which type of succession does this describe?
support a variety of species
When a change takes place leaving no soil or organisms in an area which type of succession occurs pioneer succession primary succession adaptive succession secondary succession?
Things in nature are not black and white, and there are intermediate stages so this makes this question somewhat difficult.Succession that begins in new habitats, uninfluenced by preexisting communities is called primary succession, whereas succession that follows disruption of a preexisting community is called secondary succession.Primary succession: the development of plant and animal life in an area without topsoil; the development of biotic communities in a previously uninhabited and barren habitat with little or no soil.Pioneer succession doesn't exist as a succession term, but pioneer species do.The definition of primary succession fits as the answer to your question.
Which type of succession takes the longest?

What are examples of primary and secondary succesion in tundra?
Primary succession is one of two types of ecological succession and biological succession of plant life, and occurs in an environment in which new substrate, devoid of vegetation and usually lacking soil, is deposited (for example a lava flow). (The other type of succession, secondary succession, occurs on substrate that previously supported vegetation before a disturbance destroyed the plant life.) In primary succession pioneer species like mosses, lichen, algae and fungus as well as other abiotic factors like wind and water start to "normalize" the habitat.
Which type of succession takes the longest?
primary succession
What type of succession occurs in an area where an ecosystem has been disturbed?
primary succession
What type of plant grows in a succession?
Succession involves all plant species in one way or another. All species can be classified into a level of succession. the first level of succession is known as primary. This tends to be when mosses, lichens, fungi and grasses colonise an area of disturbed soil or land. this over time produces more organic matter and nutrients which allows secondary succession (Bushes and slightly bigger plants) to grow. Again with time this provides the right conditions for the final level of succession known as Climax. Climax tends to be a forest habitat.
When one type of community replace another type of community this is called?
Transplantation
What type of succession your result after a wildfire?
This succession is called autotrophic autogenous.
What type of area will undergo the fastest ecological succession?
seconary succession
What Factors that affect ecological succession?
TopographicalExtreme conditions cause abiotic topographical factors, which are mainly involved with secondary succession. Landslides and mudslides are examples of this type of factor because they cause a massive reformation of the landscape. The disturbance caused by landslides and mudslides allows for disturbance-tolerant species to repopulate the habitat.SoilThe soil, an abiotic factor, of an environment affects ecological primary succession greatly. Different species of plants require different soil conditions. Trees tend to be the largest driving organism in this portion of ecological succession. The pH levels of the soil is often affected most by the inhabiting trees and determines what type of plants can thrive there. The type of soil (loamy sand, sandy, top soil with humus, etc.) also plays a large role in what species can inhabit an area. In sandy areas, only a select few species are able to take root and survive. The moisture level of the soil determines what sort of trees inhabit an area. Swampy areas tend to house trees with higher pH level requirements where drier soils tend to house trees with lower pH level requirements.ClimateClimate, an abiotic factor highly involved in both primary and secondary succession, plays a significant role in determining the direction of succession in an environment. If an environment receives a period of low precipitation, it becomes more susceptible to fires caused by lightning. This leads to secondary succession in which fire-resistant and tolerable species thrive and the others die out. Wind has the ability to reform the landscape over time by way of erosion. Winds can also drive wildfires to further cause disturbance. However, when an environment receives high levels of precipitation, it becomes more suitable for certain species that are tolerable of high moisture levels, which is an example of climatic effect on primary succession.Species Interaction and CompetitionThe interaction and competition between species in a particular habitat is a biotic factor of ecological primary succession. When succession begins and the very first species, known as pioneer species, change the environmental structure, new species now tolerable to the new conditions move in. The diversity among the species present is high at this point. However, in time, competition and interaction causes a significant drop in species diversity where the dominant species thrive and the rest die off.Gesabel_Balag02
