Question
Chapter 28, Problem 2AC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason through which it is difficult to study succession.
Introduction:
A constant change occurs during species composition in a community called ecological succession. Each community is created from the types and number of species that remain constant; due to the value that is obtained in a short period of time.
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The way through which someone can study succession in a specific location.
Introduction:
There are four changes or points should be observed by someone to study succession in a specific location are: primary succession, secondary succession, climax community and subclimax community.
