on the succession development‚ whereas others have a dramatic influence over a long period of time‚ such as human activity. These factors‚ over time‚ result in the progression of a succession until the climatic climax vegetation is reached. However‚ sometimes these factors can mean that a plagioclimax is reached‚ as they prevent the succession from progressing any further and the climatic climax vegetation is never achieved‚ which in the UK are Oak‚ Hawthorne and Birch trees. This succession results

Ecological Succession Ecosystems are constantly changing in response to natural and human disturbances. Changes that occur in a community over time is called ecological succession. Succession can be a slow and gradual response to physical changes such as a change in rainfall or temperature. Succession can also be abrupt due to such things as fires or volcanoes. There are two kinds of succession: 1. Primary succession 2. Secondary succession Primary succession occurs on surfaces

The structure or spatial distribution of a community or ecosystem can be described by: a. Physical Appearance : relative sizes‚ stratification‚ and distribution of its population and species b. Species Diversity or Richness : the number of different species c. Species Abundance : the number of individuals of each species d. Niche Structure : the

Here physical and human factors have accounted for changes to the vegetation for many years. Human factors can include tourism‚ agriculture‚ urbanisation‚ interception and deforestation. Physical factors can be such things as natural disasters‚ succession and diseases. The human factor of interception can vary between many situations. For example‚ humans can intercept and alter the vegetation through predator control. By reducing the predators which feed upon that particular vegetation encourages

Hemisphere‚ the British Isles bears a variety of trees and successions of plants‚ including deciduous trees. The main ecosystem of the country is made up from forest and lake biomes alongside heathlands and moorlands such as heather moorland. The changes to the vegetation over time can be affected by both physical and human factors which in some cases occur together or in causation of one another. Physical changes include; changes in climate‚ succession‚ disease and natural disasters. Human factors in change

There were a few key concepts and processes we used in our investigation they were Coastal deposition‚ Sand Dunes‚ Psammosere and Plant Succession. These four concepts above all fit in with my investigation for one reason or another. Coastal Deposition–The laying down of sediment‚ in a low energy environment. It occurs when large supplies of light material are moved around in rivers‚ the
