Detailed explanation-1: -Please save your changes before editing any questions. In a pond, which of the following changes would most likely result in terrestrial succession? An increase in water plants growing in the pond.
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.
Detailed explanation-3: -In terrestrial ecosystems, succession can occur as either primary or secondary succession. Primary ecological succession is the type of succession that occurs when an area experiences a disturbance that is so severe that none of the original species survive and the ecosystem must rebuild from bare rock.
Detailed explanation-4: -Succession in aquatic environments involves the gradual infilling of sediments and organic matter in the shallow lake or pond. It begins with pioneer species, phytoplanktons, followed by the growth of aquatic plants. Once the water becomes shallower, amphibious plants start to flourish.
