ecological succession Flashcards
process by which the mix of species and habitat in an area changes over time
ecological succession
process by which an ecological community undergoes changes following a disturbance or initial colonization of new habitat
ecological succession
process of changing the land that organisms will live
ecological succession
two major types of ecological succession
primary and secondary succession
process of developing the barren land where organisms are not existed to make it as new habitat area. it create new life of ecosystem through the help of living things
primary succession
first species that start living in the barren land undergoes primary succession is called as
pioneer species
process of developing the land but we need to understand that this land is already existed. the living and non-living things that ecist in this land will experience some destruction to replace the ecosystem that already lives in the land
secondary succession
restoration of sources of foods for organisms
secondary succession
it happens when a climax community or intermediate community is impacted by a disturbance. this restarts the cycle of succession, but not back to the beginning
secondary succession
ecological community in which populations of plants or animals remain stable and exist in balance with each other and their environment
secondary succession
similarities of primary and secondary succession
can help for continuous development of ecosystem
developmental process of land to make it as habitat
both can sustain foods for organisms
