Clearcutting trees from a wooded area includes cutting down and removing all vegetation in the area. Clearcutting can have negative effects on an ecosystem, but it is also said to have benefits to the ecosystem. Possible benefits of clearcutting include clearing the area of dead trees to help regenerate new, healthier trees. What type of ecological succession is clearcutting an example of?          regenerative succession         pioneer succession         primary succession         secondary succession

Identify the coldes, driest biome with relatively little or relatively small vegetation. The plants in this biome have characteristically short "growth habits," meaning that species like willows and other trees may be only a few inches tall. Desert Temperate rainforest Savanna Tropical rainforest Tundra

When a fire occurs ,clearing a forest ,and then new plants start to grow there it is called _____ succession. On the other hand if you have a brand new rock that plants are growing in for the very first time, that is called _____ succession

Match the name of the biome with its description. The task is to match the lettered items with the correct numbered items. Appearing below is a list of lettered items. Following that is a list of numbered items. Each numbered item is followed by a drop-down. Select the letter in the drop down that best matches the numbered item with the lettered alternatives.   a.  appear about halfway from the equator to the poles, most of this area is farmed, at least in the U.S. b .found to the north and south of the tropical rain forest, has long dry season c. abundant rain fall and high heat support lush plant life d.vast forests, mostly of conifers, in the far north of Canada, Russia, Alaska and Scandinavia e. the trees seasonally shed their leaves   1. temperate grasslands   2. tropical savanna     3. temperate deciduous forest   4.  taiga   5. tropical rain forest

Summarize how areas affected by wildfire have bounced back biologically in 2 paragraphs. What are the steps of succession seen (what plants grew in first, second, etc.)? You may also include pictures. (HINT: Pick a CA wildfire from a few years ago so there is documentation to assist you).

Deforestation has contributed to erosion and dramatic flooding, particularly in parts of Asia. is this statement true or false
