    Ecological Succession

    Ecological Succession
    process of change in an ecosystem brought about by the progressive replacement of one community by another until a stable climax is established

  • Primary Succession

    occurring in an environment in which new substrate devoid of vegetation and usually lacking soil, such as a lava flow or area left from retreated glacier, is deposited.

  • Pioneer species

    species which colonize previously uncolonized land, usually leading to ecological succession.

  • Climax community

    a biological community of plants and animals which, through the process of ecological succession — the development of vegetation in an area over time — has reached a steady state.

  • eutrophication

    Excessive richness of nutrients in a lake or other body of water, frequently due to runoff from the land

  • Explain how a massive disruptive force may alter even a Climax Community.

    It can destroy the species and harm them

  • Explain the difference between natural and artificial eutrophication.

    Natural are from the producers and they benefit you, whereas the artificial aren't as useful.
