Question
Describe how succession can help restore the equilibrium of an ecosystem.
Solution
VerifiedWhen an ecosystem recovers from a disturbance during a succession, the gradual changes re-establish the abiotic factors which were once in it. When the abiotic factors are stable, the organisms would begin to return and live in it. Eventually, when conditions are stable, the ecosystem becomes healthy again. This is the reason why succession restores the equilibrium of an ecosystem.
