Cyclic succession (def) – Periodic succession in plant communities (e.g., A → B→C→A); communities with cyclic succession do not have a climax Climax community (def) – A stable species abundance distribution, the end point of succession (i.e., state C) What explains the directionality of succession, ending in a climax community?

succession occurs in a series of plant stages, which leads to a stable final community, which is very similar to the plant community, which originally existed in the ecosystem. This final stable plant community is called a climax community . This community may reach a point of stability that can last for hundreds or

PROCESS OF SUCCESSION NUDATION •Formation of a bare area. •Basic process of succession. •There are several results for nudation including volcanic eruption, landslide flooding, fire and other catastrophic event. INVASION • It is the arrival of the reproducing organism (plants and animals from the surrounding areas and their aggregation. • These immigrants are called the pionears.

A biological community often appears to stay the same from one year to the next. However, over periods of decades or centuries, many biological communities show major changes. A biological community may be disrupted by a disturbance such as a flood, volcanic eruption or human activity (e.g. removing trees and plowing to prepare a field for ...

succession will generate a directional change in com-munities over time. For example, succession in many mesic temperate environments will generate the recov-ery of deciduous forests, with successional transitions South Africa has made substantial contributions to the international scientifi c knowledge base on biological invasions in the past.

Changing Biological Communities – Disturbance and Succession1 A biological community consists of all the types of organisms that live in a given area. The different types of organisms in a community interact and influence each other in multiple ways. Two important types of interaction are consumption (e.g. some birds eat insects) and
ecological succession and soil development
Ecological succession The change in species composition and/or structure over time following either a severe disturbance that removes most organic matter (primary succession) or a less severe disturbance where some biological legacy remains (secondary succession). Biomass, nutrient availability and vegetation stature can either increase

Primary succession occurs where no ecosystem has existed before. It is a very slow process because it begins on bare rock. A glacier that retreats leaves behind no soil. Lava from a volcanic eruption hardens into bare rock. Primary succession begins with soil formation. The first stage of succession involves pioneer species. In primary

The rate of secondary succession is usually faster than that of primary succession, because in the former case the soil is developed and contains seed and sprout able roots intact. However, just the reverse takes place in case of severe fire, where the organic layers of the soil get burnt and all biological species get destroyed. Micro-sere:

The asymmetric impacts of these two disturbances across species may create significant conservation and management challenges in years to come (Metz et al. 2011).
