DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Primary succession occurs when new land is formed or bare rock is exposed, providing a habitat that can be colonized for the first time. For example, primary succession may take place following the eruption of volcanoes, such as those on the Big Island of Hawaii. As lava flows into the ocean, new rock is formed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Primary succession happens when a new patch of land is created or exposed for the first time. This can happen, for example, when lava cools and creates new rocks, or when a glacier retreats and exposes rocks without any soil.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: Primary succession commonly occurs after a volcanic eruption or a glacier recedes, because these areas have been stripped of organic matter. Primary succession is the process by which pioneer species colonize an area otherwise uninhabitable for plant life and generate nitrogen for other plant communities.

Detailed explanation-4: -Primary succession follows the formation of new land surfaces consisting of rock, lava, volcanic ash, sand, clay or some other mineral substrate. o This means that there is NO SOIL present. o Soil is a mixture of mineral, decaying organic material and living organisms.
