Question

Identify the theory of succession that is being discussed.

Answer 1

Hey

Ecological succession, the process by which the structure of a biological community evolves over time. Two different types of succession—primary and secondary—have been distinguished. Primary succession occurs in essentially lifeless areas—regions in which the soil is incapable of sustaining life as a result of such factors as lava flows, newly formed sand dunes, or rocks left from a retreating glacier. Secondary succession occurs in areas where a community that previously existed has been removed; it is typified by smaller-scale disturbances that do not eliminate all life and nutrients from the environment.

Succession is referred as the change in community pattern over a long period of time. The change occur due to the presence of various other organism who is present at that particular moment of time. For example by human evolution is an example of succession which has occurred in the earth for a billion of years ago till the present.

Humans evolved from the primary EP like structure and then award towards the homo Sapiens are finally to homo Sapiens Sapiens. There is various other factor which are related to the evolution and the succession.
