There is a lot that is going on in the world today, and as humans, there is much that we can do to ensure we save it from being uninhabitable by taking care of the natural resources. Do you know what global warming is? What do you know about ecological succession? This quiz will help you understand succession on a whole new level.
Increased amounts of sunlight are able to reach the ground while the pioneer species are decomposing
Increased soil temperatures from decomposing pioneer species help tree seeds germinate more quickly
Increased amounts of decomposing pioneer species remove nutrients that tree seedlings need to grow and mature.
Increased amounts of soil from decomposing pioneer species allow plants with more extensive root systems to become established.

Species diversity is much greater in the ecosystem undergoing primary succession because that ecosystem is experiencing a longer period with a lack of competition for space.
No difference in species diversity exist because both ecosystems initially lack living organisms.
Species diversity is much greater in the ecosystem undergoing primary succession because the lack of soil provides a greater area for organisms to claim niches.
Species diversity is greater in the ecosystem undergoing secondary succession because the soil already contains seeds and spores of various species.
