Which ecological change results when pyroclastic flows sterilize landscapes?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated primary ecological succession occurs because after pyroclastic flow sterilization prevents existing organisms inhabiting the location; therefore, pioneer species colonizing barren substrates will initiate succession, rather than secondary succession beginning with soil.
