Question

Which one of the following does not evolve further?

• A. Climax community
• B. Primary Succession
• C. Pioneer Species
• D. Seral Community

Hint:

Think of succession as a journey. Pioneer species are the starting travelers, seral communities are the stops along the way, and the climax community is the final destination where the ecosystem settles down.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Ecological succession is the process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over time. It involves several stages: Pioneer species are the first to colonize a barren environment. Seral communities are the intermediate stages of succession. Primary succession is the entire process starting from a barren site. A climax community is the final, stable, and mature stage of succession. It is in equilibrium with its environment and has a high level of species diversity and biomass. By definition, it is considered the endpoint of succession and does not undergo further directional evolution.
