- 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.

- Tree Rings and Droughts El Malpais National Monument, in west central New Mexico, has pockets of vegetation that have been surrounded by lava fields for about 3,000 years, so they have escaped wildfires, grazing animals, agricultural activity, and logging. Henri Grissino-Mayer generated a 2,129-year annual precipitation record using tree ring data from living and dead trees in this park (FIGURE 27.23). FIGURE 27.23 A 2.129-year annual precipitation record inferred from com pled tree ring data in El Malpais National Monument Now Mexico. Data ware averaged over 10-yeer intervals; graph correlates with other indicators of rainfall collected in all parts of North America. PDSI, Palmer Drought Severity Index: O, normal rainfall increasing numbers mean increasing excess of rainfall decreasing numbers mean increasing severity of drought A severe drought contributed to a series of catastrophic dust stem's that turned the rid western United States into a oust bow between 1933 and 1939. 2. One of the worst population catastrophes ever recorded occurred in Mesoamerica between 1519 and 1600 a. d., when around 22 million people native to the region died.
