Ecological Succession Ecosystems are constantly changing. Ecological succession is a gradual process of change and replacement of the types of species in a community. My take hundreds or thousands of years Each new community that arises often makes it harder for the previous community to survive.

Ecological Succession Primary succession is a type of succession that occurs on a surface where no ecosystem existed before. It begins in an area that previously did not support life. Primary succession can occur on rocks, cliffs, or sand dunes.

Ecological Succession Secondary succession occurs on a surface where an ecosystem has previously existed. It is the process by which one community replaces another community that has been partially or totally destroyed. Secondary succession can occur in ecosystems that have been disturbed or disrupted by humans, animals, or by natural process such as storms, floods, earthquakes, or volcanic eruptions.

Primary succession can occur on new islands created by volcanic eruptions or any area not previously supported life. Primary succession is much slower than secondary succession. This is because it begins where there is no soil.

Ecological Succession A pioneer species is a species that colonizes an uninhabited area and that starts an ecological cycle in which many other species become established. Over time, a pioneer species will make the new area habitable for other species.

Ecological Succession The first pioneer species to colonize bare rock will probably be bacteria and lichens, which can live without soil. A lichen is a producer that is actually composed of 2 different species, green algae & fungus The growth of lichens breaks down the rock, which with the action of water, begins to form soil. A climax community is the final, stable community in equilibrium with the environment. Even though a climax community may change in small ways, this type of community may remain the same through time if it is not disturbed.

Ecological Succession Old-field succession is a type of secondary succession that occurs when farmland is abandoned. When a farmer stops cultivating a field, grasses and weeds quickly grow and cover the abandoned land. Over time, taller plants, such as perennial grasses, shrubs, and trees take over the area.

Ecological Succession Natural fires caused by lightning are a necessary part of secondary succession in some communities. Minor forest fires remove accumulations of brush and deadwood that would otherwise contribute to major fires that burn out of control. Some animal species also depend on occasional fires because they feed on the vegetation that sprouts after a fire has cleared the land.
