Question

A forest was completely destroyed by a volcanic eruption. All living organisms were killed. Then, due to the arrival of propagules carried by birds from nearby areas, certain plant species started growing in the forest. These species have started colonizing the forest because they could survive the harsh conditions of the forest. They also facilitated the growth of other species. What stage of succession is taking place in the forest?

Answer 1

Answer:

The pioneer stage of secondary succession is taking place in the forest.

Explanation:

Secondary succession occurs when an area that had been destroyed due to factors like fire, flood, etc starts to get colonized by species again.

In the starting stage i.e pioneer stage, plant species start growing on this land. With the passage of time, we enter the intermediate stage, where shrubs start to grow .

Gradually, we come to the complex stage, where mature trees start to colonize the forest and eventually provides a habitat for other animals.

Answer 2

Answer:

The stage of succession that is taking place in the forest is ecesis

Explanation:

Ecesis is a process in which plants or animals adjust themselves not only to survive to the new environment but to grow in this new habitat and to enable the future life and adjustment of new species, this also includes more specifically for plants the ones that were transported by different natural ways to that area.
