Early seral communities in secondary succession are less productive than in later stages because:
| 1. | early seral communities are prone to invasion and disturbance by other species of plants |
| 2. | low biomass means less productivity |
| 3. | weedy early seral communities make habitat inhospitable for more productive species |
| 4. | early seral stages are more sensitive to nutrient deficiencies |
