Question

Please identify the Conceptual Models of Succession in order from left to right ( + +, - - -, 0 0 0)

a) Facilitation, inhibition, tolerance
b) Inhibition, facilitation, tolerance
c) Tolerance, inhibition and facilitation
d) None of the above

Answer 1

The correct order of the Conceptual Models of Succession is Facilitation, Inhibition, Tolerance which represent changing species interactions over time during ecological succession.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Conceptual Models of Succession in order, from left to right (+ +, - - -, 0 0 0), are:

1. Facilitation
2. Inhibition
3. Tolerance

Facilitation suggests that early species modify the environment to make it more habitable for subsequent species. Inhibition proposes that early occupants prevent the establishment of other species until the initial inhabitants are damaged or die. Tolerance implies that the late-successional species are unaffected by early species and are able to establish themselves regardless of who got there first.
