Choose the correct statement.
a. Secondary succession can occur where the disturbance has left the soil intact.
b. Secondary succession occurs when no soil exists in a place.
c. Primary succession can take place only when soil is left after a disturbance.
d. Sometimes, during a succession, local species inhibits the growth of newcomers, a
phenomenon termed as facilitation.
Primary”succession is succession that:a.involves establishment of primary producers where there were none.b.leads to establishment of a climax community dominated by primaryproducers.c.occurs on newly exposed geologic substrates, not organic soil.d.occurs where organic soils have been exposed but not destroyed bydisturbance.e.occurs after fire or agricultural abandonment.
The orderly progress of communities, starting from bare rock with no soil or traces of a previous community, is calleda. primary succession.b. secondary succession.c. subclimax community.d. climax community.
