Questions and Answers

Which of the following is true about primary succession?

  • It involves pioneer species (correct)
  • It occurs in areas with pre-existing soil
  • It is faster than secondary succession
  • It occurs after a disturbance in a previously colonized area
  • Which of the following is NOT a factor that influences the process of plant succession?

  • Soil type
  • Climate
  • Topography
  • Plant species diversity (correct)
  • What is the difference between autogenic and allogenic succession?

  • Autogenic succession is a type of secondary succession, while allogenic succession is a type of primary succession
  • Autogenic succession is driven by abiotic factors, while allogenic succession is driven by biotic factors (correct)
  • Autogenic succession involves the replacement of one plant community by another, while allogenic succession involves the gradual modification of an existing community
  • Autogenic succession is driven by biotic factors, while allogenic succession is driven by abiotic factors
  • Study Notes

    Primary Succession

    • Primary succession occurs in areas where no soil or vegetation existed before, such as after a volcanic eruption or in a newly formed delta.
    • It begins with the establishment of pioneer species, such as lichens and mosses, which are able to survive in harsh conditions.

    Factors Influencing Plant Succession

    • Climate, topography, and soil type are factors that influence the process of plant succession.
    • Human activities, such as deforestation and land use, can also impact plant succession.
    • Not a factor that influences plant succession: the presence of a particular species of bird.

    Autogenic and Allogenic Succession

    • Autogenic succession is driven by changes within the ecosystem itself, such as the accumulation of organic matter or the creation of shade.
    • Allogenic succession is driven by external factors, such as changes in climate or the introduction of new species.
