If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
Biotic or ecological succession is the formation of a series of biotic communities at the same site over a period of time one after the other, till a stable climax community develops over the area. It occurs generally in bare areas.
Primary succession takes place on a biological sterile soil less primary barren area.
Secondary succession takes place in a recently denuded area which still contains a lot of organic debris, remains and propagules of previous living organisms. The area has become bared due to destruction of the community previously present. The baring of an area can be caused due to forest fire, deforestation for wood, timber and habitat, overgrazing, landslides or earthquakes, excessive and repeated droughts, fallowing a cropland and repeated floods.
Which one of the following correctly represents an organism and its ecological niche?
Vallisneria and pond
Desert locust (Scistocerca) and desert
Plant lice (aphids) and leaf
Vultures and dense forest
Assertion: The plant biomass which serves as the food of herbivores and decomposers is said to result from the gross primary productivity.
Reason: Gross primary productivity is the rate of net production of organic material (biomass).

The bacteria which attack dead animals are
first link of the food chain and are known as primary producers
second link of the food chain and are herbivorous
third link of the food chain and are tertiary consumers
the end of food chain and are decomposers.
Assertion: A network of food chains existing together in an ecosystem is known as a food web.
Reason: An animal like kite cannot be a part of a food web
