It makes sense that increasing the rate of plastics recycling is helpful for eliminating waste. Think about it, when something can be reused, then it should be. Recycling allows this to happen and prevents landfills from being filled too quickly.
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.
It all depends on the species, some lose all of their leaves for part of the year while others lose their leaves before the next growing season, retaining some during winter or dry periods.
