Which ecological succession or secondary succession describes the event that take place on a hillside that has experienced a destructive mudslide?
secondary succession
Which is a likley location for primary succession?
Primary succession might take place on a volcano or on newly formed islands
What is secondary sucession?
Secondary succession is the series of community changes which take place on a previously colonized, but disturbed or damaged habitat. Examples include areas which have been cleared of existing vegetation (such as after tree-felling in a woodland) and destructive events such as fires. Secondary succession is usually much quicker than primary succession for the following reasons:There is already an existing seed bank of suitable plants in the soil.Root systems undisturbed in the soil, stumps and other plant parts from previously existing plants can rapidly regenerate.The fertility and structure of the soil has also already been substantially modified by previous organisms to make it more suitable for growth and colonization.It occurs in land and marine communities - Novanet
What is the sequence of community changes that take place after a community is disrupted by natural disasters of human activities?
Secondary Succession.
What would the changes in communities that take place on a recently formed volcanic island best be described as?
Primary succession
Why does secondary succession typically proceed faster than primary succession?
I takes longer for primary succession than secondary succession to go back to its original state
Is primary succession faster than secondary succession?
Secondary succession is faster than primary succession because soil is already there and the soil usually contains many seeds.
Which ecological succession or secondary succession describes the event that take place on a hillside that has experienced a destructive mudslide?
secondary succession
How long does secondary succession take?
A few hundred years.
Secondary succession begins with an area where?
Secondary Succession refers to the reintroduction of a community to an area that has previously supported life. Reintroduction may have to happen because a wild fire, flood or earthquake has completely destroyed life in this ecosystem. Secondary succession reaches a climax community quicker than in primary succession because spores and seeds of plants may remain in the soil. Whereas in primary succession this would all take time to come about. Just remember any type of succession starts with increasing the biomass of vegetation so that more life can be supported and more food chains evolved.
What kind of succession can take hundreds or even thousands of years to develop into a climax community?
Primary succession.
