Finding Nemo Revisit:
How would the aquatic animal population be affected at the bottom of the ocean with fewer producers?
Why are there less producers at the bottom of the ocean?
What else might change with depth?

8. Ecological Succession
Succession-Natural, gradual changes in the types of species that live in an area; can be primary or secondary
Succession can take place both in water and on land.
Succession is often difficult to observe because it often takes a really long time.

9. Primary Succession Begins in a place without any soil
Sides of volcanoes
Glaciers
Starts with the arrival of living things such as lichens that do not need soil to survive
The first organisms to arrive are called PIONEER SPECIES.

10. 5 Steps of Primary Succession
1) Soil starts to form when erosion and lichens break down the rocks. When lichen decompose, they add small amounts of organic matter to the rock to make soil.

11. 5 Steps of Primary Succession
2)Simple plants like mosses and ferns can grow in the new soil

12. 5 Steps of Primary Succession
3) The simple plants die, adding more organic material
The soil layer thickens, and grasses, wildflowers, and other plants begin to take over

13. 5 Steps of Primary Succession
4) These plants die, and they add more nutrients to the soil
Shrubs and trees can survive now.

14. Primary Succession
5) Insects, small birds, and mammals have begun to move in
What was once bare rock now supports a variety of life

15. Secondary Succession Begins in a place that already has soil.
Occurs faster and has different pioneer species than primary succession
Example: after forest fires, mudslides, floods

19. Climax Community
A stable group of plants and animals that is the end result of the succession process
Does not always mean big trees
Grasses in prairies
Cacti in deserts

20. Check for Understanding
