Ecological Succession: Nature's Great Grit

The video uses The Lion King to introduce ecological succession, explaining primary and secondary succession. Primary succession occurs in new areas without soil, starting with pioneer species like lichen. Secondary succession happens in areas with existing soil after disturbances. The video highlights the importance of biodiversity and encourages curiosity.

What are some examples of disturbances that can lead to secondary succession?

In what ways can human activity influence ecological succession?

Explain how biodiversity is related to ecological succession.
