Question

the diagrams above show an ecosystem during different stages of ecological succession. in which order will these stages occur, from earliest to latest? a 4, 2, 1, 3 b 1, 2, 3, 4 c 3, 1, 4, 2 d 2, 4, 3, 1

Explanation:

Ecological succession starts with bare rock (stage 4). Then, soil forms and pioneer species (like small plants in stage 2) colonize. Next, intermediate species (stage 1 with more vegetation) grow, and finally, climax community (stage 3 with large trees) forms. So the order is 4, 2, 1, 3.

Answer:

A 4, 2, 1, 3
