Question

what is most likely to result immediately after a rainforest in brazil is clear - cut?
secondary succession
primary succession
a climax community
increased biodiversity

Explanation:

When a rainforest (which has soil and some remaining organisms) is clear - cut, secondary succession occurs. Secondary succession happens in an area where a disturbance (like clear - cutting) has destroyed a community but left the soil and some organisms intact. Primary succession starts on bare rock or newly formed land with no soil. A climax community is a stable, mature community at the end of succession. Increased biodiversity is a long - term result of succession, not immediate. So the most likely immediate result is secondary succession.

Answer:

secondary succession
