What is a primary plant succession?
Primary plant succession is the first stage of succession. Primary succession takes place on land and soil that has undergone a disturbance, eg after a mud slide, fires etc. Primary succession usually involves basic plant life and fungi colonising the disturbed area. These plants tend to be first of all mosses and lichens followed by grasses and small flowering plants. Primary succession over time will provide the soil with more nutrients and will increase the organic horizon layer of soil allowing secondary succession (bushes and larger plants dependant on more nutrients and soil) to commence.
How does a Secondary succession begins?
During secondary succession, the topsoil generally undergoes an increase in carbon stock, nitrogen supply, an increase in the carbon/nitrogen ration and a decrease in acidity and density.
Which word describes an increase in nutrients in a lake or pond?
Eutrophication
What is the organ that has villi to absorb the nutrients?
The small intestine has villi to absorb nutrients. Villi are small projections that increase the possible surface area for absorption.
What is the reason for the increase of bacteria in water containing fertilizer?
The greater availability of nutrients (mostly nitrogen) allows an increase in several types of microorganisms.
How does agriculture affect succession?
Agriculture can disrupt natural succession by altering soil composition, removing native vegetation, and introducing non-native species. As a result, agriculture can slow down or prevent the natural process of ecological succession, leading to a decrease in biodiversity and ecosystem resilience.
