Which process occurs after a forest fire?

• eutrophication
• photosynthesis
• primary succession
• secondary succession

What time frame best describes how long primary succession generally takes?

• less than year
• around 1 year
• more than 1 but less than 100
• more than a 100 years

What is the difference between a primary vs. secondary succession?

• secondary occurs where there was no previous community
• they are the same
• secondary occurs in an area that was only partially destroyed
• primary ocurs in an area that was only partially destroyed

What is the first species you will see after a primary succession? (in picture)

• lichens
• mosses
• small plants
• insects

How do lichens contribute to primary succession?

• Lichens decompose organic matter from animals and plants
• Lichens begin to break down rock to form soil
