Succession and Extinction

Question 19 • Environmental Science A

The introduction of livestock to an area leads to over-grazing that removes native grasses:

Answer
A
primary succession
B
secondary succession

Explanation

Over-grazing removes the native grasses, but it does not usually remove the soil. When a community regrows in an area where soil is still present after a disturbance, it is secondary succession. Primary succession begins in places without soil, such as newly exposed rock.
