The process of beavers damming a stream,forming a pond that fills,that then becomes a boreal forest exemplifies

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process of beavers damming a stream and forming a new pond results in the gradual development of plant communities in that area due to the natural process of plant succession. As the pond fills up and the water depth increases, new aquatic plants can grow. This creates favorable habitats for other plant species and eventually a new forest ecosystem can develop. This process is an example of natural ecological succession. Deforestation, desertification, overgrazing, or glaciations do not involve the same process of ecological succession as seen in the beaver pond example.
