Change in types of plants in an ecosystem over time is called:

• Movement

• Evolution

• Climax Species

• Primary consumers

• Pioneer species

During succession grass and flowers are replaced by bigger plants because...

Which of the following is an example of primary succession?

• The regrowth of a forest after a fire

• The colonization of a newly formed volcanic island

• The recovery of a coral reef after bleaching

• The seasonal change in a deciduous forest

In ecological succession, what role do pioneer species play?

• They are the final species to colonize an area

• They modify the environment, making it suitable for other species

• They compete with climax species for resources

• They are the most dominant species in a mature ecosystem
