Summary Introduction
Introduction:
According to Clarke (1954), “ecological succession that begins on a bare land or area where no life has existed, or where the previous flora and fauna have been destroyed, is known as primary succession”. The habitat of primary succession can be colonized for the first time.

What is the difference between primary succession and secondary succession?
Primary succession occurs when a new species is discovered within an already established species. Secondary succession occurs when a new species invades an area and destroys the species already inhabited there.
Primary succession occurs when an area has never supported an ecosystem. Secondary succession occurs when an area has supported an ecosystem but has been cleared of everything except for topsoil.
Primary succession occurs when an area has supported an ecosystem but has been cleared of everything except for topsoil. Secondary succession occurs when an area has never supported an ecosystem.
Primary succession occurs when an area has supported an ecosystem and an invasive species takes over the area. Secondary succession occurs when an area has never supported an ecosystem and an invasive species takes over the…

- Put the following items in order of succession. Farmland is abandoned. Dense shrubs appear. Slower growing trees enter the area. Small, fast-growing trees appear. Shade-tolerant trees take over. Sun-tolerant weeds and herbs appear.arrow_forwardClearcutting trees from a wooded area includes cutting down and removing all vegetation in the area. Clearcutting can have negative effects on an ecosystem, but it is also said to have benefits to the ecosystem. Possible benefits of clearcutting include clearing the area of dead trees to help regenerate new, healthier trees. What type of ecological succession is clearcutting an example of? regenerative succession pioneer succession primary succession secondary successionarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about succession is not correct? Succession is the replacement of one species by another in an ecosystem. Succession is influenced by both biotic and abiotic factors. Primary succession begins on bare rocks where there is no soil present. Secondary succession is relatively slower than primary succession.arrow_forward
- early successional species tend to, and later successional species tend to be good colonizers, grow quickly grow quickly, be good colonizers grow slowly, tolerate low resource levels grow quickly, be shade tolerantarrow_forwardContrast primary and secondary succession.arrow_forwardThe following statement applies to an area in Maryland. As succession proceeds, all of the following occur EXCEPT larger trees dominate. bird biodiversity decreases. shade increases. grasses decline.arrow_forward

- What is the relationship between a pioneer species and primary succession? A pioneer species is an invasive species that causes areas to experience primary succession. There is not a relationship between a pioneer species and primary succession. The pioneer species only occurs in areas of secondary succession. A pioneer species is important in an area of primary succession because it can grow and thrive in areas where most other species cannot. A pioneer species only inhabits areas of primary succession.arrow_forward1)Which of the following are stages in the process of primary succession? Select all that apply. Pioneer species colonize the habitat and help build the soil. Shrubby species take root and overgrow the pioneer species. The initial habitat has no soil and lacks multicellular organisms. A disturbance removes the natural array of species but leaves the soil in place. After the buildup of organic matter and nutrients from generations of pioneer and shrubby species, tall trees establish in the habitat. 2)Which of the following is a species interaction that benefits one species and neither helps nor harms the other? Herbivory Commensalism Competition Mutualism 3)Which of the following is a process whereby two species compete for a limiting resource and one drives the other to local extinction?
