What is the difference between primary an secondary sucession?
Primary succession is when development of an area that has not had a community begins. Secondary succession is when a community starts to rebuild itself after a disturbance(Like a hurricane or tornado). Hope this helps :D
What is ecological succesion?
Ecological succession is a fundamental phenomenon of ecology. It refers to progressive succession from unstable community to stable community. Initiation of succession is by a) formation of new inhabited area - volcanic eruption; wash out by tsunami etc. b) natural and man made calamities - fire Succession is of two types: Primary - from newly formed soil & secondary - from already existing soil. Ecological succession refers to the orderly and gradual process in a given ecosystem.
How does secondary succession differ from primary succession?
Primary succession occurs after the complete wipe out of vegetation. After the wipe out occurs, small shrubs and grasses grow. Secondary succession however, occurs when there has been destruction to the land, but not enough to completely devastate the area. Hard woods grow during secondary succession.
What type of succession takes place after lava from a volcanic eruption covers an area?
the lava and ash deposited during a volcanic eruption breaks down to provide valuable nutrients for the soil
Secondary succession occurs in an area where the community has been destroyed and the soil has been?
preserved:) nova net
When no life exists in an area what type of succession begins?
Primary succession occurs in an area with no soil or organic matter, like an area after a volcanic eruption. Secondary succession occurs where there is already soil.
Where are you most likely to find primary succession?
Pioneer plants are usually present in an area where primary succession begins.
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.
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 type of succession occurs in an area where an ecosystem has been disturbed?
primary succession
What is the correct order of 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
What type of area will undergo the fastest ecological succession?
seconary succession
Succession occurring in an area with no soil?
none
Primary Succession?
The series of changes in a area
Describe succession and distinguish between primary and secondary succession?
Success is when life is established after a disaster in an area. Primary succession starts when things like glaciers and volcanic eruptions strip away soil and leave bare rock for pioneer species like lichen and moss to spread their seedlings. Secondary succession begins from soil being left from things like forest fires and like Primary succession it uses pioneer species like grass and bushes to spread and rebuild.
What is a gradual change in the kinds of organisms living in an ecosystem?
Succession refers to the normal, gradual changes that occur in the types of species that live in an area.
