• primary succession

• secondary succession

• tertiary succession

• variable succession

What is the most important function of the pioneer species in primary succession?

• To create rocks

• To create soil and add nutrients to the environment

• To look nice

• Food for animals

The stable ecosystem that has little to no change is called?

• Climax community

• Climax Ecosystem

• Pioneer Ecosystem

• Constant Community

Where would you find the highest biodiversity

• Stage 1 with the pioneer species

• The final Climax Community

• Stage 3 with the Intermediate species

Check the disruptions that would result in secondary succession.

• Volcano erupts and cools into new rock

• Flash Flood washes away all plant life

• Fire destroys an entire forest

• Tsunami wave clears the coastal plant life
