Question

In ______, a disturbed site in a community recovers and moves again toward the climax state.

Options

• area effect

• primary succession

• distance effect

• secondary succession

Answer 1

In secondary succession, a disturbed site in a community recovers and moves again toward the climax state.

Explanation:

This succession occurs on previously occupied but disturbed land where soil is already present, enabling faster recovery than primary succession, which starts on bare substrate without soil. Thus, a disturbed site in a community recovers and moves toward climax through secondary succession.
