Which statement best describes the difference in species diversity between an ecosystem beginning the process of primary succession and one beginning the process of secondary succession? Species diversity is greater in the ecosystem undergoing secondary succession because the soil already contains seeds and spores of various species.
Species diversity is greater in the ecosystem undergoing secondary succession because the soil already contains seeds and spores of various species.

Species diversity is much greater in the ecosystem undergoing primary succession because the lack of soil provides a greater area of organisms to claim niches

Species diversity is much greater in the ecosystem undergoing primary succession because that ecosystem is experiencing a longer period with a lack of competition for space.

No differences in species diversity exist because both ecosystems initially lack living organisms
