Which of the following is not true about succession?

Step-by-step solution

Ecosystem characteristics that change during succession: i) Change in the diversity of species i.e., some species colonize an area and their populations become more numerous, whereas populations of other species decline and even disappear. ii) Little diversity to a high degree of diversity i.e., increase in the number of species. iii) Total biomass increases. iv) Increase in humus content of the soil. v) Aquatic or dry conditions to mesic conditions i.e, both Hydrarch and Xerarch succession lead to medium water con
