Community Ecology topic 10

"Is a series of actions to recover all or part of the structure or functioning of a damaged community"

• Succession Dynamics

• Ecological Restoration

The visual aspect of the species, which depends on the morphological characteristics of every species.

• Physiognomy

• Diversity

A rare large-scale disturbance is called a ...

• Horizontal stratification

• Successional status

• Catastrophe

This event damages or even kills the organisms in a community. It "swipes away" the community and leaves open spaces that are occupied by new organisms.

• Disturbance

• Successional dynamics

• Catastrophe

Is the variety of individuals that make up the community.

• Comunity

• Structure

• Diversity

Is the development characteristics and recovery process after a community disturbance.

• Successional status

• Physiognomy

• Structure

The set of species that make up the community; let us know which species are present

• Composition

• Horizontal stratification

• Vertical stratification

Differential distribution of organisms including on the ground, water or sky; and they can be: lower stratum (non-woody ground-level creeping and herbaceous plants), middle stratum (middle and young trees and shrubs) and upper stratum (tall trees)

• Composition

• Vertical stratification

• Species richness

The amount or the number of species forming a community. Though it is almost impossible to recognize this, because no scientist has been able to develop a list of the number of different species within a community.

• Horizontal stratification

• Species richness

• Diversity

Refers to the way a community is organized, and is divided into: Horizontal stratification and Vertical stratification

• Species richness

• Composition

• Structure
