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.

Which two examples show adaptations for plants growing in the desert?
aleksklad [387]

there is no clear evidence about plants evolving in the desert, or fossils of any kind of cactus despite their distribution over a large area. But, scientists are of the opinion that they acquired specific attributes millions of years ago, as a response to the vastly changing climate and conditions.

-Desert plant root system

A typical desert plant has a deep root system, which is a specific physical mechanism. As the roots grow deep down the soil, they absorb soil water, which is then transported to the upper portions of the plant.

-Desert plant leaves

Bear small foliage with waxy surface to minimize transpiration (loss of water through stomatal pores), which in turn, helps to conserve water.
