Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Since ecological succession increases the number of species living in an area, it also increases biodiversity. For example, areas that have been through heavy mining are usually stripped to barren rock. Over time, seeds drift in through wind, water, or pollinators, and these seeds can colonize the barren rock.
Detailed explanation-2: -Species diversity commonly increases with succession and this relationship is an important justification for conserving large areas of old-growth habitats.
