Ecosystems path to success

●The terrestrial (biomes)
ecosystems have three
general steps to success.

●These steps have events that
go into succession(order of
events before the next can
happen).

●

Natural

event that

destroys the
balance of

an

ecosystem

Life in the
area starts
to recover if

possible

Life is

completely

and

restored to
its original

glory

• What happens to the

balance of nature
when a catastrophic
event such as a
volcanic eruption
happens?

• Can or will anything

survive?

Step 1 Destruction

Growth

Plants start to grow.

How do you think the
seeds get there?

Step 2 Recover

Think

What would be the
definition of a climax
community?

Step 3 Community is restored

to its original glory

Multiple Choice

What is ecological succession?

• A slow change in an environment

• A change that happens quickly in an environment

• A change in abiotic factors only

• A state when an ecosystem doesn't change

Multiple Choice

A climax community is ….

• the beginning of a new ecological succession.
• the rocks in a new environment.
• the fire that will cause destruction.
• an area that reaches its greatest growing potential.

There are some examples
of destructive forces in
nature

●What would you like to know
today

●Volcanic eruptions with
pyroclastic flow?

●Wildfires with devouring
movement?

●Tsunamis with unstoppable
power?

Multiple Choice

A glacier retreats and exposes bare rock. What will occur next?

•  The rock will turn into soil

• A pioneer species will move into the area and begin to break down the rock into soil.

• A forest will grow in the area

• Grass will grow in the areaglag

Mount St. Helens

What do you see

volcanic eruption?

Two types of ecological succession

●
Primary succession-severe destruction
even removes soil.

Secondary succession-
not as severe, but still

wipes out the community

(almost) entirely.

Ecological Succession: Changes in an ecosystem that causes older
organisms (if present) to die out and new ones to move in.

The last picture is the climax community. What do you think the
definition of climax community is?

Biomes

When we talk about succession this is the picture you usually see.

Think about the organisms in different biomes. What do you see as
you follow the arrows?

Climax Community

Just like a food web,
each biome has
different organisms so
the climax community
will look different.

An ecosystem is always
developing to its most
complex and stable
state.

Multiple Choice

Which of these statements about a food web is true?

• Matter is changed into various forms but the total quantity remains unchanged.

• Matter is created at the start of a food web and destroyed in the end.

• There are an equal number of producers and consumers.

• The quantity of matter increases as the food web progresses from the producers to the consumers.

Food Web

When we looked at
food webs the more
complex a food web
was the more stable
an ecosystem was.

Food web Trivia

●The food web is disorganized.

●Circle he producers

Cats, in Minamata Japan, were the
first found to have high levels of
organic mercury in their bodies
which ultimately led to their death.

Soon the human population started
experiencing similar symptoms
from eating contaminated meat
from the dolphin population that
the fishing company had killed and
marked as healthy whale meat.

The chemical company Chisso had been dumping
methylmercury into the ocean and it started to
biomagnify in the marine organisms living in the
waters off Minamata.

Biomagnification

Biomagnification is the increase in
concentrations of harmful toxins, like
mercury, within organisms.

Which trophic levels are the most affected by
Biomagnification?

Lesson Summary

➢Ecological Succession involves a series of
changes in an ecosystem from either starting
a new community or replacing an older
community.

➢An ecosystem is always trying to develop to
its most complex and stable state.

➢Disturbances from succession events cause a
decrease in biodiversity, biomass, and
complexity within food webs.

➢As ecosystems progress through succession
stages biodiversity increases.

➢Biodiversity is the variety of life in the world
or in a particular habitat or ecosystem.

➢Biomass is the total mass of organisms in a
given area or volume.
