Explanation:

The community may enter primary succession.

Ecological communities are highly dynamic- they gradually evolve. Typically their progression involves:

  • colonizing species exploiting uninhabited areas (Primary succession)
  • becoming a habitable and increasingly complex community
  • there is increased diversity of organisms (Secondary)

The makeup of biological communities is crucial to defining Primary and Secondary succession; eventually, through changes in this makeup, a steady-state or equilibrium is reached called a climax community. While Primary succession starts off with the modification of a previously unoccupied area along with increasing variation; secondary succession begins after major disruption in the community such as fires, storms and flooding.

Like the harvested climax forest, secondary communities do not begin with the removal of soil and all biological life; other species, may be more suited to the altered conditions and begin to modify the area creating a new community.

However, the process of becoming a climax community can be pretty complicated- it is very dependent on other factors like temperature and rainfall. Communities that experience rapid change, frequent major disruptions and even human intervention, are less likely to attain a stable equilibrium and may never become climax communities.

What do you think is the most important reason for learning about environmental systems?
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The most important reason for learning about environmental systems is due to the fact that we should know what's going on in the world around us. If we were to travel to Asia, we should know the forests that lie there to pack appropriately. It's also important to just be aware of how the world works. It's also good to know what rock type you'll be walking on, so you can pack shoes accordingly. Overall, it's better to know the world around you than to live in ignorance.
