Lecture 15 Flashcards
population ecology VS community ecology
population ecology
single species dynamics, 2 species interaction
fishery
community ecology
dominance, E flow
biodiversity, umbrella species, area based protection
hierachy
atom, molecule, cell, organism, population, community, ecosystem, biosphere
Def(community)
group of species linked together by their feeding relationships
primary succession
eg.retreating glacier, erupting volcano
eg.Mt St Helen, Lupinus create shelter & fix N
Def(succession)
process of change in ecological communities over time
factor of rate of primary succession
availability of colonizer
abiotic and biotic environment
process among successional species: facilitation & inhibition
secondary succession
soil, light
plant species show physiological and morphological adaptation to specific position in a succession gradient
application of succession
