Succession in Tree Type from Field to Forest Alyssa Estabrooks October 21‚ 2013 Ecology 2101 Group #3/Thursday PM Succession and diversity in a local field and forest of Sackville‚ NB was measured using a quadrat sampling method. Tree species were counted and recorded to numerically represent the difference in species between the two chosen locations. Using our diversity indices‚ we found that the forest had a higher diversity based on both the Shannon-Weiner

Ecological Succession Script Andy Raskita The world around us is slowly and constantly changing. We might never see the small alterations happen‚ but many years later‚ changes will surely be visible. Over time small changes add up and soon the whole ecosystem is different. This slow change in the land and habitat is called ecological succession. Animals‚ plants‚ and weather are some factors that cause this type of change in an ecosystem. Ecological succession begins with a pioneer community. In

Primary and Secondary Succession SCI/ 256 People Science and the Environment Primary and Secondary Succession This paper will review the components of primary and secondary succession as describes on page 68 and 69 of the textbook Environment. The scope of this paper will attempt to address how biotic and a biotic components effect the balance of the ecosystem‚ and how ecosystems go through the cycles of progression. When discussing primary succession‚ one must first understand

Ecological Succession… 1 Ecological Succession is… • The observed process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over time. • The community begins with relatively few pioneering plants and animals and develops through increasing complexity until it becomes stable or self-perpetuating as a climax community. • Succession occurs in all natural environments. Each environment has a particular name that expresses the nature of their ecological succession: Primary and Secondary

the ecosystem‚ a process known as succession. Primary succession happens when species grow in locations where organisms have never previously existed. Secondary succession occurs after an ecosystem disturbance. The basic difference between primary and secondary succession is the presence of soil. When primary succession begins‚ soil is not present; in the case of secondary succession‚ soil is already in place. What occurs during primary and secondary succession? How can an ecosystem recover from

Investigation into Succession in Sand Dunes. Scientific Knowledge: Succession is a long-term direction of change in the composition of a community‚ brought about by the organisms themselves. Primary succession occurs when a community develops on bare/uncolonised ground‚ which has never had vegetation growing on it. A good example of primary succession is that of succession on sand dunes. Secondary succession occurs on ground that has previously been colonised but is now available because

Succession‚ the process of a community changing over time‚ can be broken down into sub groups such as ecological‚ primary‚ pond‚ and secondary. Ecological succession being the most basic. In the Succession Lab‚ we observed a community in a ecosystem. As we recorded the data each class‚ we observed that succession takes place with rapid speed for in each observation‚ a new specimen is identified. A niche is how the organisms live‚ what their role in the community is. For example‚ an ecological

Succession Lab INTRODUCTION: The purpose of our lab was to begin to understand the rates of succession. Succession is a number of persons or things following one another in order or sequence. Considering that all living things follow some sort of order‚ Joey Collins‚ Brian Carman‚ Chris Broadwater‚ Marisa Grondin‚ and I attempted to figure the succession rates of two different forests. In order to do this we used the forest behind the elementary school and the forest behind the track‚ by the
