Answer: Ecological succession is the gradual process by which ecosystems change and develop over time. Nothing remains the same and habitats are constantly changing.

There are two main types of succession, primary and secondary.

Primary succession is the series of community changes which occur on an entirely new habitat which has never been colonized before. For example, a newly quarried rock face or sand dunes.

Secondary succession is the series of community changes which take place on a previously colonized, but disturbed or damaged habitat. For example, after felling trees in a woodland, land clearance or a fire.

In essence, meiosis maintains the right number of chromosomes of body cells by creating half the number of chromosomes of sex cells.

o-na [289]

Answer:

B) Absence of native grasses

Explanation:

The grasses, which acted as a windbreak and whose roots anchored the soil in place, were overgrazed and/or removed to allow for farming. Once a few years of severe drought affected the area, any wind storm was able to blow the topsoil away, rendering the farm land of the Great Plains virtually unusable in many areas. Ground cover is an essential part of sustainable agriculture.
