Answer;

Ecological succession

Explanation;

  • Ecological succession is the process by which the species structure of an ecological community changes over time. New species move into an area and colonize it.
  • There are two basic types of ecological succession, which are categorized based on how many nutrients or lack thereof are already present in the soil after the disturbance.These are secondary and primary succession.
  • Primary succession occurs when new land is formed or bare rock is exposed, providing a habitat that can be colonized for the first time. For example, primary succession may take place following the eruption of volcanoes, such as those on the Big Island of Hawaii.
