Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ Secondary succession would take place on all of the following: the slopes of a newly formed volcanic island, a receding glacier, the prairie after a controlled burn, and vegetation growing in a newly exposed lake bed. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Definition of Secondary Succession: Secondary succession occurs in areas where a disturbance has destroyed an existing biological community but has left the soil intact. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ Slopes of a newly formed volcanic island: After the lava cools and weathers, it forms soil that can support plant life, allowing secondary succession to occur. ‖ ‖ c ⋮ Receding glacier: As a glacier retreats, it leaves behind bare soil where secondary succession can take place. ‖ ‖ d ⋮ Prairie after a controlled burn: The fire destroys the vegetation but leaves the soil structure and seed bank, setting the stage for secondary succession. ‖ ‖ e ⋮ Vegetation growing in a newly exposed lake bed: When a lake dries up or is drained, the exposed bed has soil that can support new growth, leading to secondary succession. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Secondary Succession ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ Secondary succession refers to the ecological recovery of an area that has been disturbed but still retains its soil, allowing for the regrowth of vegetation and the return of animal species. This process can occur in various disturbed environments, including volcanic islands, areas left by glaciers, burned prairies, and dried-up lake beds. ⚹◊Which pioneer species would likely colonize each of the mentioned habitats during secondary succession?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
