Which plants are usually the first to grow during secondary succession?

1 answer:

8 0

Generation of carbonates from burnt plant material following fire disturbance causes an initial increase in soil pH that can affect the rate of secondary succession, as well as what types of organisms will be able to thrive. Soil composition prior to fire disturbance also influences secondary succession, both in rate and type of dominant species growth. For example, high sand concentration was found to increase the chances of primary Pteridium overImperata growth in Imperata grassland. The byproducts of combustion have been shown to affect secondary succession by soil microorganisms. For example, certain fungal species such asTrichoderma polysporum and Penicillium janthinellum have a significantly decreased success rate in spore germination within fire-affected areas, reducing their ability to recolonize.

Arisa [49]

<h3><u>Answer and Explanation</u>;</h3>

Purines: Heterocyclic rings are synthesized one atom at a time, first atom attached to ribose phosphate (source is PRPP) and then all the other atoms are added .
Pyrimidines: Common intermediate, orotate, synthesized first, then orotate is attached to ribose phosphate (source is PRPP or 5-Phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate).
