Parent rocks.
( I got it wrong when I put Inorganic materials)
I think the process is hydrolysis which would be a chemical reaction.
Fresh water is any body of water with a low salt concentration. Organisms in fresh water various challenges which includes; Osmotic concentration such that fresh water is permanently dilute and most cells cannot function at this concentration of ions. Varying temperatures, variation in oxygen levels and reproduction and life cycle due to permanence of habitat and physiological difficulty of regulating osmotic concentration in larvae and juveniles.
Answer:
Transition
Explanation:
Secondary succession occurs when the existing vegetation is removed by some disturbances and soil is already present in the region to support the growth of new species. During succession, the early species are being replaced by later successional species.
In the given example, the forest has patches of early species and later species. This means that the forest is in the transition period of succession where early species were not completely replaced by the new species. Once the early species will be removed and the climax community develops, the forest has reached the final stage of succession.
