biomes and ecological Succession

A series of progressive changes in the composition of an ecological community over time

• Climax Community

• Primary Succession

• Ecological Succession

• Species Richness

an area that was previously occupied by living things is disturbed, then re-colonized following the disturbance.

• Pioneer species

• Ecological succession

• Climax community

• Secondary succession

newly exposed or newly formed rock is colonized by living things for the first time. Certain hardy plants and lichens with few soil requirements, called pioneer species, colonize the area first.

• Climax community

• Primary succession

• Ecological succession

• Secondary succession

After a volcano destroys the land, ________________ succession takes place.

• Secondary

• Primary

• Tertiary
