There are many factors that account for the changes to the vegetation over time within ecosystems in the British Isles‚ such as human activity‚ climate‚ soil‚ light availability and intensity and natural disasters. The characteristics of the vegetation that are influenced by these factors are height‚ distribution‚ variety of species‚ adaptations and density of the vegetation. Some of these factors have relatively little influence on the succession development‚ whereas others have a dramatic influence

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

Succession is defined as a directional change in community composition and structure over time (Gurevitch et al‚ 2002). Succession is either primary or secondary. In primary succession plants grow and colonize earth for the first time. In secondary succession plants inhabit and colonize earth that was once inhabited by plants life. A wildfire is one example of secondary succession. When a disturbance in the environment occurs‚ such as a wildfire‚ either part or all of the community is destroyed

Ecosystems are environments where biotic (living) organisms and abiotic (non-living) components interact together to create a functional‚ complex network of nutrient and energy cycling. These balanced environments take time‚ sometimes many years‚ to develop. During the course of development‚ species are replaced by other species within the ecosystem‚ a process known as succession. Primary succession happens when species grow in locations where organisms have never previously existed. Secondary succession

The word economy comes from the Greek word for “one who manages a house- hold.” At first‚ this origin might seem peculiar. But‚ in fact‚ households and economies have much in common. A household faces many decisions. It must decide which members of the household do which tasks and what each member gets in return: Who cooks din- ner? Who does the laundry? Who gets the extra dessert at dinner? Who gets to choose what TV show to watch? In short‚ the household must allocate its scarce re- sources among
