A sand dune is an example of?
What is primary succession.
100
what causes secondary succession to occur?
What is natural disasters, and human activities
100
As time passes, a community will eventually reach a stage in which all organisms are in balance with each other and with the abiotic factors in their environment. This final stage of succession is called...
What is climax community.
100
give one reason why succession promotes biodiversity
What is habitats change and adapt as diversity increases--> different species enter the environment increasing biodiversity
100
Chemical disposition that results in suspending succession.
What is acid rain.
200
How are rocks from a volcano considered primary succession?
What is the rocks that form a new location (i.e. an island) provide a new space for biodiversity.
200
give an example of secondary succession
What is Algonquin Park. logged and created forest fires resulting in secondary succession
200
what are pioneer species/ annual plants species?
What is species which are the first to colonize previously disrupted or damaged ecosystems
200
Humans do this when we promote a type of ecological community over another.
What is suspending succession.
300
List three kinds of natural disturbances that result in primary succession.
What is fires, earthquakes, and floods.
300
why is the soil so important in secondary succession?
What is substrates that already contain life forms in the soil. the soil with nutrients and life forms in secondary succession makes the process more efficient
300
Surprise!!!!!
What is you are unlucky. (No points)
300
what causes patches in the environment?
What is small scale interactions and disturbances
300
Explain restarting succession.
What is intentionally or non intentionally harming the wildlife, forcing plants to restart their cycles.
400
What kind of organism would most likely be growing on an island created by a volcanic eruption just two years before? A. Climbing vines B. Monkeys C. Lichens D. Hardwood trees
What is C. Lichens.
400
Explain the cycle/stages of ecological succession.
What is annual plants→ perennial species and grasses→ shrubs→ coniferous forest→  mixed forest
400
Which of the following habitats is most likely to experience early succession due to a severe ecosystem disturbance? A. A cypress swamp B. Beach dune habitat C. A hemlock forest D. A deciduous hardwood forest
What is D. Deciduous hardwood forest.
400
list one purpose that ecological succession gives
What is stability in an environment, and allowing destroyed environments to recover to a stable stage
400
Surprise!!!!!!
What is you are unlucky. (No points)
500
Provide three examples of primary succession that have not been mentioned.
What is _________.
500
secondary succession is a faster process than primary succession. why is this so?
what is soil is already present, so there is no need for pioneer species; Seeds, roots and underground vegetative plants may still survive in the soil. there is still nutrients and life forms in the soil
500
What is one similarity and one difference between primary and secondary succession?
What is they both create and continually changing mix of species within communities. Difference: Primary succession is when there is no life form prior to the succession, where as life previously existed in secondary succession.
500
give 3 reasons why succession is important
What is increases biodiversity, helps prevent places from desertification, shapes future of animal and plant communities
500
How do humans impact succession by putting out forest fires?
What is...fires are naturally occurring and regulate forest ages naturally, which in turn regulates the mosaic of food sources and wildlife habitats that occur. Putting out forest fires has resulted in larger fires, which decreases plant and animal diversity.
