A massive flood tears out many trees in a wooded area. What would you expect the area to look like a year later?
A.
A new species of trees will be about half grown.
B.
Grasses and weeds will be growing in the sunny areas.
C.
It will look exactly like it did before the flood.
D.
There will not be any plants growing the first year.
The best answer is B, the reason why secondary succession happens much faster than primary succession is because the oil is already there, once the oil is there- with enough sunlight- grass and weeds will grow easily within the span of a year.
