The other biologists and scientists thought his theories were bogus
In a new environment colonization of the substrate occurs in sequence hence it is common to see growth in biodiversity of the new ecosystem with time. Ecological succession begins with pioneer plants in primary succession. These pioneer plants break down rocks to soil hence releasing bound nutrients and making them available to higher plants up in the succession line. Therefore, in the beginning, one will find plants such as mos, lichens and annual plants such as grasses. The biodiversity will increase to include shrubs, then plants like trees will eventually appear.
The answer would be, that it decreases.
Plants mostly use light wavelengths between 400 to 700 nm. This range is referred to as PAR or photosynthetically active radiation range. The wavelength of light that can be used for the situation given above is red and blue light. The approximate wavelength of the blue light is 455 to 492 nm while the red light is at 622 to 780 nm.
