1) Which of the following sequence MOST likely represents ecological succession on a recently abandoned wheat field?

A) grasses→ flowering plants → shrubs → native trees

B) native trees → shrubs → flowering plants → grasses

C) shrubs → grasses → native trees → flowering plants

D) flowering plants → native trees → shrubs → grasses

2) What is the relationship between ecological succession and equilibrium in an ecosystem?

A) Ecological succession helps maintain equilibrium in an ecosystem.

B) Ecological succession prevents ecosystems from ever reaching equilibrium.

C) There is no relationship between ecological succession and equilibrium.

D) Ecological succession and equilibrium are the same thing.

3) appearance of small plants with rapidly spreading roots on newly formed coastal sand dunes describes -

A) a microhabitat.

B) primary succession.

C) secondary succession.

D) biodiversity

4)Why does secondary succession occur faster than primary succession?

A) fewer changes must occur in secondary succession

B) there are more pioneer species in secondary succession

C) the environmental conditions are more

extreme in primary succession

D) there are more trophic levels in secondary succession

4) Why does secondary succession occur faster than primary succession?

A) fewer changes must occur in secondary succession

B) there are more pioneer species in secondary succession

C) the environmental conditions are more

extreme in primary succession

D) there are more trophic levels in secondary succession

The ecological succession is a process by which the mix of species in the habitat or the area changes as per time. The sources get evolved and others die out. The mature forest reaches its climax and hence gets destroyed by the factors of the environment and many other stages.

Thus the answer is grasses→ flowering plants → shrubs → native trees, succession helps maintain equilibrium, primary succession, more pioneer.

As per the question, the sequences of the ecological succession that takes place in an abandoned wheat field are that of Grasses to Flowering Plants to Shrubs and to the Native trees.

The relation is between the ecological succession and equilibrium of species is that of helper that maintains the ecosystem.,

The Primary succession appears on the small plants that rapidly develop on new lands. The secondary succession is faster than the first as more pioneer species are in the succession.

Hence option A, A, B, and B is correct.
