Question
Give reasons – ‘Primary succession is always slower than secondary succession’
Solution
- Primary succession starts in the area where no living organisms ever existed.
- In case of secondary succession, since soil is already present, the succession rate is faster and hence climax is also reached quickly. Hence, primary succession is always slower than secondary succession.
