What is represented in the accompanying image? (Openverse) a. primary succession b. secondary succession c. nutrient cycling d. biomagnification


I'm unable to view images directly. However, I can provide definitions for the terms you provided to help you identify what might be represented in the image: a. **Primary succession**: This occurs in lifeless areas where soil has not yet formed, such as after a volcanic eruption or glacial retreat. It involves the colonization of bare rock by organisms starting with lichens and mosses. b. **Secondary succession**: This happens in areas where a disturbance has destroyed an existing ecosystem but left the soil intact, such as after a forest fire or flood. It typically has a faster recovery as the soil and some organisms remain. c. **Nutrient cycling**: This refers to the movement and exchange of organic and inorganic matter back into the production of living matter. It includes processes like decomposition and the movement of nutrients through different biotic and abiotic factors. d. **Biomagnification**: This is the process where certain substances like pesticides or heavy metals become more concentrated in the tissues of organisms at each successive level of the food chain. If you can describe the image, I could help you determine which term it likely corresponds to!
