Explanation:

Correct. Ecological succession often begins with the inhabitation of barren land by pioneer communities. These are the first organisms to colonize barren or disturbed lands and start the process of ecological succession, leading to more complex ecological communities over time.

Correct. The changes in an ecosystem brought about by ecological succession can indeed affect the migratory patterns of birds, such as those in Wular Lake. As the vegetation and overall habitat change, the availability of food, nesting sites, and other resources for birds also changes, which can influence their migration patterns and behaviors.

Therefore, both statements are correct.
