Question on: JAMB Biology - 2024
One of the characteristics of secondary succession is that it
A
starts on a bare surface
B
takes longer time to reach climax
C
starts on already colonized surface
D
starts with low organism
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C
Secondary succession occurs in an area where an existing community has been disrupted or destroyed, but the soil remains. This means it begins on a surface that has already been colonized, unlike primary succession which starts on a bare surface (e.g., exposed rock).* A. is incorrect because secondary succession does not start on a bare surface.* B. is incorrect as both primary and secondary succession take time to reach climax.* D. is generally true but less defining compared to the characteristic of starting on an already colonized surface.
