ECOLOGICAL SUCCESSION

Ecological Succession Change of environment involving a series of species replacements in a community. Two types: Primary Secondary

Primary succession — occurs where there is no soil, e. g Primary succession — occurs where there is no soil, e.g. after a volcanic eruption or a glacial retreat “pioneer organisms” Simple plants first – no or shallow roots. Gradual influx of more complicated and larger plants as the habitat changes. Ends with a “climax community” – ecosystem stays constant, provided there are no changes in abiotic influences.

Primary Succession: Sand Dune to Forest Dune grassescottonwoods+shrubsevergreensoaksbeeches maples

Bare rock bare rock→lichens→mosses→grasses→shrubs→trees

Glacial retreat

Man-made structures

Secondary succession — begins in an area where soil is already present, (e.g. a once cultivated field or after a forest fire.) Old field succession: grasses + weeds taller grasses + golden rod small trees (cherries, dogwood, sumac)  mature climax forest (oak, beech-maple, hickory)

Secondary Succession Soil already present.

Pond Succession Abandoned field succession

Pond→marsh→dry land/grasses →shrubs→forest

Pioneer species—first species to begin a succession. Climax community—the final stage in a succession.

Primary vs. Secondary No soil Pioneer species Weathering & decomposition Humus and sand increase over time End = climax community Soil already exists Seeds have suitable soil conditions. Occurs much faster Climax community.

Secondary Succession After a forest fire
