Yes, ecological succession can begin in bare areas when seeds are carried by birds or the wind. This process allows for pioneer plant species to establish themselves, leading to further colonization by other plant species over time. Ultimately, this sequential transition of plant communities drives ecological succession towards a more mature and stable ecosystem.
Areas that have been severely disturbed, such as after a volcanic eruption or a wildfire, tend to undergo ecological succession at a faster rate. These areas have little to no vegetation and soil, allowing pioneer species to establish themselves quickly and kickstart the succession process.
Rural and urban planning can influence ecological succession by determining land use patterns, the presence of infrastructure, and human activities. In rural areas, zoning regulations and development decisions can impact natural habitat conservation and fragmentation, affecting the progress of succession. In urban areas, construction, pollution, and habitat destruction can disrupt ecological succession processes, leading to altered species composition and diversity.

Primary succession begins in areas where no soil is present.Secondary succession occurs in areas where there is soil already present.Ecological succession refers to orderly changes in an ecological community. These changes may happenbecause of the start of a new empty habitat (after a landslide, glacier, nuclear explosion, lava flow or even concreting), where all traces of previous biological material, even soil have been wiped out (Primary), orby some sort of disturbance (like bush fires, harvesting or logging) of an already existing habitat, which is not severe enough to kill everything. So plants can regrow and seeds spring up again (Secondary).Primary succession's the succession taking place at a venue where no ecosystems has ever existed (300yrs) and secondary succession's a succession at a venue where an ecosystem was once established but deceased due to human impacts or natural disasters.

The total biomass in an ecosystem tends to increase during succession as more diverse and complex plant and animal communities gradually develop. Initially, there may be low biomass with pioneer species, but as succession progresses, the biomass accumulates due to the growth and expansion of vegetation and organisms.
Primary succession occurs in areas where no soil is present, such as on newly formed volcanic rock, while secondary succession occurs in areas where soil is already present, such as after a forest fire. An example of primary succession is the colonization of barren land by lichens, which break down rock to form soil. An example of secondary succession is the regrowth of vegetation in an area that was previously cleared by a logging activity.
false
Primary succession occurs on ground which had no previous vegetation, including lava flows, bare rock and sand dunes. For example, newly created volcanic islandSecondary Succession follows the destruction or modification of existing vegetation, either naturally or by human activity. For example, section of a forest destroyed by fire.Ecosystems are constantly changing in response to natural and human disturbances. As an ecosystem changes, older inhabitants gradually die out and new organisms move in, causing further changes in the community.Primary Succession occurs on surfaces where no soil exists, And Secondary Succession follows a disturbance that destroys a community without destroying the soil.Primary succession is slow and secondary succession is rapid.Primary succession begins in areas where no soil is present.Secondary succession occurs in areas where there is soil already present.Ecological succession refers to orderly changes in an ecological community.
