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.

What are examples of primary succession in the tundra?
according to my research ecological succession and biological succession of plant life is the two primary succession in tundra.
What is the rate of Primary succession in a tundra biome?
Primary succession in a tundra biome is typically slow due to harsh environmental conditions such as low temperatures, short growing seasons, and limited nutrients. It can take hundreds to thousands of years for vegetation to establish and soil to form in a tundra environment, making the rate of primary succession very slow. Succession is also influenced by factors such as glacier retreat and permafrost thawing in tundra regions.
What is an animal that is a tertiary consumer in the tundra?
A secondary consumer is a consumer that eats primary consumers. In the tundra, primary consumers include animals such as musk oxen and caribou. The animals that hunt caribou include wolves, and occasionally polar bears.
What are the comsumers in the tundra biome?
The primary consumers in the tundra are the herbivores.
Secondary consumers of the tundra?
arctic foxes, falcons
Is lichen grows on barren rock in the tundra a primary or secondary succession?
Lichen growing on barren rock in the tundra is an example of primary succession because it is the first colonizer to establish in an area devoid of soil and organic matter. As lichen breaks down the rock surface, it creates a suitable environment for other plants to grow, initiating the process of succession.
What are examples of secondary succession in tundra?
well an example of secondary succession would be,if a big amount of snow covered a cave, and if the chunk of snow fell and slid down the mountain, that would mean the cave is uncovered, and an animal can live their. BIG BROTHA OPINIONS!!!!!

What type of consumers live in the tundra biomes?
Consumers in the tundra biome are typically herbivores like caribou, musk oxen, and lemmings, as well as carnivores like arctic foxes, wolves, and polar bears. These animals have adaptations to survive the harsh cold weather and limited food availability in the tundra.
