Question

The progressive series of changes that eventually
produce a climax community on bare rocky island
is example of:
(a) Speciation
(b) Secondary succession
(c) primary succession
(d) evolution​

Answer 1

Answer:

primary succession

Explanation:

as it is started from bare rocky island to climax community.

Answer 2

Answer:

The progressive series of changes that eventually produce a climax community on bare rocky island is example of primary succession.

Explanation:

• Succession is a process of gradual changes in an ecological community's makeup over time.
• In primary succession, living organisms first occupy newly exposed or newly created rock.
• In secondary succession, a previously inhabited area is disturbed, disrupted, and then recolonized as a result of the disturbance.
• First, the substrate, rock, is broken down by weathering and other natural forces sufficiently for the development of some hardy plants and lichens with minimal soil requirements, known as pioneer species.
• These species aid in transforming the mineral-rich lava into soil so that other, less resilient species can develop and ultimately take the place of the pioneer species. These early species also contribute to the creation of soil by growing and dying and adding to the layer of organic matter that is decaying.
• This procedure is repeated numerous times in quick succession. New species enter a region at each stage and may displace the ones that came before them, frequently as a result of environmental modifications produced by the preceding species.
