Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of ecological succession, which is the process by which the structure of a biological community evolves over time.
Identify the different types of succession: primary succession, secondary succession, and others like climax and tertiary succession.
Primary succession occurs in lifeless areas where there is no soil or initial vegetation, such as a newly formed volcanic island or a region left bare by a retreating glacier.
Secondary succession occurs in areas where a community has previously existed but has been removed by a disturbance, such as a fire or flood, leaving the soil intact.
Recognize that primary succession is the type of succession that occurs in a community that has never been colonized before, as it involves the initial establishment of a biological community in a previously uninhabited and barren environment.
