Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ecological succession involves changes in both vegetation and animal populations as new species gradually colonize the area and adapt to the changing habitat conditions. For example, early-succession plant species can provide habitat and food resources for certain animal species, while later-succession plant species may support different animal species that require more mature and stable vegetation. Therefore, animal populations also experience changes during ecological succession.
