Question

how do living things alter the biotic and abiotic environment to cause the process of succession? i. lichens and small plants produce soil that allow larger plants to grow. ii. large trees produce shade and compete for resources with smaller plants, causing a reduction in their populations. iii. animals replace plants due to their superior intelligence. i only i and ii only ii only i, ii and iii ii and iii only score: 100% submit response you are using the free version of this game (with ads) if you want to use the ad - free member version click the button below. please note: this will open in a new tab.

Explanation:

• Statement I: Lichens and small plants break down rocks to form soil, which is a key step in succession, enabling larger - plant growth.
• Statement II: Large trees' shading and resource - competition impact smaller plant populations, which is part of succession dynamics.
• Statement III: Animals do not replace plants due to intelligence. Succession is about ecological changes, not intelligence - based replacement. So, statements I and II are correct.

Answer:

I and II only
