Question

25 multiple choice 2 points which of the following best describes primary succession? the regrowth of a forest after a wildfire the return of a population after an invasive species removal the succession that occurs only in aquatic environments the establishment of life on newly exposed rock or lava where no soil exists

Explanation:

Primary succession is the process of ecological succession that occurs in an area where no soil exists, such as on newly exposed rock or lava. The regrowth of a forest after a wildfire is secondary succession (as soil is already present). The return of a population after invasive species removal is not primary succession. Succession is not limited to aquatic environments.

Answer:

The establishment of life on newly exposed rock or lava where no soil exists.
