Question
Identify In this example, what are the first kind of plants to grow in secondary succession?
First Year Weeds start to grow.
Second Year New weeds appear.
Their seeds may have been blown
to the field by the wind, or insects
may have carried them.
In 5 to 15 Years Small conifer trees,
such as pines and firs, grow among the
weeds. Áfter about 100 years, the weeds
are gone and a forest has formed.
After 100 Years or More As older
conifer trees die, they may be replaced
by hardwood trees. Oak and maple
will grow if the temperature and
precipitation are right.
