Ecological Succession
Ecological Succession
process of change in an ecosystem brought about by the progressive replacement of one community by another until a stable climax is established -
Primary Succession
occurring in an environment in which new substrate devoid of vegetation and usually lacking soil, such as a lava flow or area left from retreated glacier, is deposited. -
Pioneer species
species which colonize previously uncolonized land, usually leading to ecological succession. -
Climax community
a biological community of plants and animals which, through the process of ecological succession — the development of vegetation in an area over time — has reached a steady state. -
eutrophication
Excessive richness of nutrients in a lake or other body of water, frequently due to runoff from the land -
Explain how a massive disruptive force may alter even a Climax Community.
It can destroy the species and harm them -
Explain the difference between natural and artificial eutrophication.
Natural are from the producers and they benefit you, whereas the artificial aren't as useful.
