Question

What of the following will occur after fire burns down 100 acres of a forest?

A. Adaptive Radiation
B. The forest cannot recover without human intervention
C. Primary Succession
D. Secondary Succession

Answer 1

Answer: D

Explanation: fires help fertilize the soil allowing secondary succession. Secondary succession is when an area has been destroyed is repopulated anew. The seeds underground after a forest fire will now have new rich soil to grow on. Plus 100 acres is like nothing at all.
