Series of changes that occurs after a disturbance in an ecosystem?
Secondary succession is the series of changes that occur after a disturbance (like a forest fire or hurricane) in an ecosystem.Do not confuse this with primary succession, which is a gradual growth of an ecosystem over a long period of time after a disturbance, such as a volcano that erupted.The difference is that secondary succession occurs when some vegetation and soil remaining after the disturbance, whereas primary succession occurs when very little or no vegetation or soil is present.
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 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.
What human activities can result in secondary succession?
us causing forest fires chopping down a forest NUKING it and many others
After an event such as a forest fire an ecosystem experiences what is called?
After a forest fire, an ecosystem goes through a process called succession. This is the gradual change in plant and animal communities over time as the ecosystem recovers and regenerates. Initially, pioneer species colonize the area followed by a more diverse community as succession progresses.
When does secondary succession could occur after?
Secondary succession can happy after primary succession . Secondary can be independent but is not usually independent from primary succession.
Damaged ecosystem is a type of this succession?
Secondary succession.
Is a volcano a secondary succession or a primary succession?
secondary sucession
What type of succession occurs in an area where an ecosystem has been disturbed?
primary succession
Why would a community undergo secondary success?
the stages of secondary succession are very similar to the stages of primary succession, except that soil already exists in the area
What kind of succesion is a tornado?
Since a tornado destroys vegetation, be leaves the soil moistly intact, it will be followed by secondary succession.
Ecological change in a community following a major disturbance is called .?

its neither and both... secondary succession merely means that the areas life was destroyed and is growing again... you would have to know the history of the area.
