FRQ: Ecology Question Ecological succession from a pioneer community to a climax community is an easy process to understand once you know each step. Ecological succession is the transition in the species composition of a biological community‚ often following ecological disturbance of the community. There are two types of ecological succession‚ primary and secondary. Primary succession is the establishment of a biological community in an area virtually barren of life‚ where there were originally

Ecological Succession Worksheet Name __________________________________ Date ________ Period _______ Succession‚ a series of environmental changes‚ occurs in all ecosystems. The stages that any ecosystem passes through are predictable. In this activity‚ you will place the stages of succession of two ecosystems into sequence. You will also describe changes in an ecosystem and make predictions about changes that will take place from one stage of succession to another. The evolution of a body

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: Change and Challenge The Structure of Ecosystems Ecosystem: a dynamic‚ stable system characterised by the interaction of plants and animals with each other and with the non-living components of the environment The components of an ecosystem are categorised as either biotic and abiotic Biotic means the living environment‚ components include: i). Vegetation (living and decomposing) ii). Mammals‚ insects‚ birds and microorganisms Biomass-the mass of material in the bodies

The War of Austrian Succession brought forth an unprecedented power which threatened the European balance of power and initiated the Diplomatic Revolution. Prior to Fredrick II’s rule‚ Prussia was fragmented‚ smaller in size and population than the other powers (however with a strong army) and without a decisive roll in the International System - Prussia had to either expand or be assimilated. Along with Fredrick’s ascension to power in May of 1740 was his concentration on raison d’état. The new
