Question
which of the following is an example of succession interrupted by human activity?
a volcanic eruption spewing ash into the air
lichens and moss creating soil from rock
mowing a lawn destroying the regrowth
Ecological succession refers to the process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over time. Volcanic eruptions are natural disturbances, and lichens/moss creating soil is primary succession (a natural start of succession). Mowing a lawn is a human activity that stops the natural regrowth and development of the plant community, thus interrupting succession.
