Answer:

Secondary succession

Explanation:

When a previously occupied area is re-colonized after a natural disaster or human  activities that wiped out the previous community, then the type of succession is called a secondary succession.   A practical example is abandoned farmland that a farmer left for a period of time and later revisited  for farming afterwards.

Because the pioneer organism( sun-loving plants )  were already on ground it will be fast  for them to populate the area,grasses will   sprout up  too. insects, dentritivores, reptiles will move into the habitats.

After 5years;The habitat is populated by  shrubs, which owns the forest floors.  small pine, oak may soon join.a  stable climax community.

Assuming the community is not interfere with  bigger  dominant trees , e,g the oak developed  and other tree  developed to bigger tree , followed by more  insects, birds, rodents, herbivores and some carnivores, This entire sequence of event may take 50 years, to reach this climax community.

A zebra mussel is discovered in a lake in Pennsylvania for the first time. Why would this make an ecologist worried?
Anna71 [15]

If a zebra mussel is discovered in a lake in Pennsylvania, then the ecologist would be worried because it is an invasive species. The zebra mussel is native to Ukraine and Russia, but if it has been found in Pennsylvania, than it means that it has been introduced in this area. As an invasive species, the zebra mussel can be very dangerous for the native species in the lake. The invasive species usually are more competitive for food sources than the native species, manage to reproduce quicker, bring in diseases, and the native species tend to not have defense mechanisms for them. This leads to rapid decline or even extinction in the native species, while the invasive spreads out quickly and takes over, resulting in dramatic change in the whole ecosystem.
