D Part VI: Read the passage and choose the best answer: Over a period of time, many habitats change with respectto the types of plants and animals that live here. This change is known as succession. Succession occurs because plants and animals cause a change in the environment in which they live. The first weed and grasses that appear on a bare field, for example, change the environment by shielding the soil from direct sunlight. As these plants spread, the ground surface becomes cooler and more moist than it was originally. Thus, the environment at the ground surface has been changed. The new surface conditions favor the sprouting of shrubs. As shrubs grow, they kill the grasses by preventing light from reaching them and also build up the soil in the area. In adition, they attract animals that also enhance the soil. Pine seedings soon take hold and as they grow, they in turn shade out the shrubs.
