Detailed explanation-1: -As succession proceeds, pioneer species will tend to be replaced by more competitive species, the abiotic environment will become less harsh, and biotic interactions such as competition and predation will be more common.
Detailed explanation-2: -Species diversity is greater in the ecosystem undergoing secondary succession because the soil already contains seeds and spores of various species.
Detailed explanation-3: -Tropical Forest Regeneration☆ During secondary succession, tropical forests increase in structural complexity, taxonomic diversity, and functional diversity. These changes lead to accumulation of carbon and nutrients in aboveground vegetation and create habitats for forest dwelling animal species.
