To describe: The processes that are involved in community assembly.
Introduction: Community assembly is a dynamic process. There are various types of interplay that are useful for detecting the distribution and biodiversity of animal and plant communities.
Explanation of Solution
The assembly of communities occurs due to two different processes. These processes are the extinction of species and the gain of species. In the process of extinction, the older and previously living species undergo extinction. However, in the process of species gain, new species arrive in the community either by colonizing or by evolution.
The extinction of species from a community is an important factor of community assembly that occurs due to the lack of
Thus, the processes that are involved in community assembly are the loss of species and the gain of species.
