    Ecological succession refers to the process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over time. There are two types of succession: primary succession, which occurs very slowly on new surfaces devoid of life such as retreating glaciers or emerging islands; and secondary succession, which reestablishes plant communities more quickly after disturbances like fires, floods, or bulldozers.

    Ecological Succession




    Ecological Succession

    Succession- changes which increase the
    community complexity over time
    Primary succession- succession which takes
    place when bare, lifeless substrate becomes
    available for colonization (VERY slow)
    retreating glaciers
    emerging islands
    formation of new lake

    Ecological Succession

    Secondary Succession- re-colonization
    following disturbance (much faster than
    primary succession)
    fire, floods, bulldozers, etc





















    Secondary Succession
