Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Ecological succession is the gradual process by which ecosystems change and develop over time. In this process of succession, nothing remains the same and habitats are constantly changing.
There are two main types of succession, primary and secondary. Primary succession is the series of community changes which occur on an entirely new habitat which has never been colonized before. For example, a newly quarried rock face or sand dunes.
Secondary succession is the series of community changes which take place on a previously colonized, but disturbed or damaged habitat. For example, after felling trees in a woodland, land clearance or a fire. These changes are fairly predictable and orderly.
Within an ecological community, the species composition will change over time as some species become more prominent while others may fade out of existence. As the community develops over time, vegetation grows taller, and the community becomes more established.
Hence the functional components like dominance, species diversity, vegetation and productivity gets affected due to ecological succession.
