Detailed explanation-1: -An empty lot that was only covered in dirt ten years ago is now home to many different species of plants and animals. Based on your knowledge about ecological succession, what can you infer? The animals will not survive because there is not enough plants.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ecological succession is the process by which the mix of species and habitat in an area changes over time. Gradually, these communities replace one another until a “climax community”-like a mature forest-is reached, or until a disturbance, like a fire, occurs. Ecological succession is a fundamental concept in ecology.
Detailed explanation-3: -Species that arrive first in the newly created environment are called pioneer species, and through their interactions they build a simple initial biological community.
