A forest fire destroys a large section of a mature forest. Several years later, the area is covered with a mix of grasses, shrubs, and small trees. The process of ecological recovery in this forest is characterized by the re-establishment of complex plant communities. 1) Is this an example of primary or secondary succession?  2) Which stage of ecological succession is most likely represented by this scenario?   Intermediate stage Alternative stable stage Pioneer stage Climax Community Stage

Conservation Biology

The study of how to prevent the loss of biological diversity on the planet is called conservation. Biological diversity, also termed biodiversity, consists of various life forms found in a specific location or across the entire planet, including ecosystems, species, populations, and genes. Conservation thus aims to protect the diversity of life at all levels of biological organization.
