I NEED THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION!!! FRIST PERSON GETS BRAINLIEST!! I NEED THIS ANSWER BEFORE 1 hour.


Kilauea is a Hawaiian volcano that erupted in 1959, destroying vegetation and animal life over an area of 5 million square meters. Before the eruption, many organisms lived on the volcano in a rain forest community. The rain forest was dominated by ohia trees and two species of tree ferns. Small trees, tall shrubs, and herbaceous plants (plants lacking woody tissues) were also present. After the eruption, scientists closely monitored the area to track the recolonization of the devastated habitat. Scientists did not find any organisms living in this area for the first six months following the eruption. The table below shows the changes in one localized area that was covered by a massive amount of lava rock with many cracks and crevices. Despite the colonization of the area by several different types of organisms by year 9, the overall cover of the habitat was so low that the surface still looked barren. The community continued to change after year 9 of this study. a. Identify the ecological process taking place over the nine years of this study. b. Describe the expected distribution of the five original types

of organisms on Kilauea in another 20 years. Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

In the graph it shows the change in the ecosystem over the course of 9 years. Slowly plant life reappeared. Year one after the eruption, when the plant life started to grow back again, competition wasn't a problem and algae, mosses, and ferns grew back quicker than the rest although at the end seed plants were more common. So on that note, in another 20 years, the area will indeed come back as a forest like before.  And most likely, animals will come back. There will be more seed plants than the rest of the organisms because at the end of the 9 year study, they grew more and more. But lichens won't be common because of their low number throughout the nine years.

Sorry if it its not quite correct
