What is ecology succession
an ecology succession is the thing that occurs on a land surface where no soil exists so nothing is there but soil and rocks
is when an ecosystem changes, older occupants die out and newer organisms move it thus changing the community of organisms in the ecosystem.
how does Lichen help develop an ecosystem
it can grow on rock and as it grows it breaks up rocks and when the lichen dies, it deposits organic materiel in cracks in the rock and that materiel helps form soil.
it over populates the area so much that other animals are able to eat all of it so it gives all these different animals food and we all know animals need food to survive in the wilderness because that is very important.
define Primary succession
an ecology succession that occurs on a land surface where no soil exists
the first species to overpopulate the area
when an ecosystem tends to restore itself to its previous state following a disturbance
define secondary succession
the state or process of a species, family, or a large group being or becoming extinct
when a composite of fungus and an algae
when an ecosystem tends to restore itself to its previous state following a disturbance
define pioneer species
a type of species to pioneer by itself into the wild
the first species to populate the area
define climax community
when the populations of plants or animals remains stable and exist in balance with each other and their environment
a community that goes to the highest point of the mountains so it is at the climax of earth
