Detailed explanation-1: -Ecological succession is the process by which the mix of species and habitat in an area changes over time.
Detailed explanation-2: -Primary succession occurs after a volcanic eruption or earthquake; it involves the breakdown of rocks by lichens to create new, nutrient-rich soils. The first species to colonize an area after a major disturbance are called pioneer species; they help to form the new environment.
Detailed explanation-3: -Plants and animals will return to the area in a process called ecological succession. Succession is gradual change in the structure and makeup of an ecological community over time. This can happen in an area where a disturbance destroyed an existing ecosystem.
Detailed explanation-4: -The ocean ecosystem has a high sustainability because of-the large variety of different organisms.
