Definition of ecological succession?
A gradual change in the ecosystem I actually just took an ecology class last year. Succession was one of the things we studied. If I had taken it more recently, I could be more specific with the ecological terms. As it is, I'll explaing it in laymens terms! Basically, succession is the establishment of life forms in an environment. Think about it like this. If we were to clear a parcel of land completely of everything, all the trees and plant life, eventually plant life would return. The first plants to return are going to be small ones, like weeds! These smaller plants are often necessary for other larger plant forms to inhabit the habitat. Sometimes, it's just the decay of dead parts as they complete their life cycle. This is the 'first generation' in succession. After the first generation improves on the conditions of the site, other plant life will take root and so on. Second and third generation plants. This also happens with wild life. Think about the food chain. If plant life in a habitat, you might not have grazing herbivores, such as deer. Without deer, their predatores will not live in those areas and will consequently migrate to other areas where they will be successful. An ecologist could explain it better, but that is the basic idea. Hope this helps,
When does secondary succession could occur after?
Secondary succession can happy after primary succession . Secondary can be independent but is not usually independent from primary succession.
What happens when something interrupts the process of succession?
Once the succession is destroyed it becomes a secondary succession
A mathematical formula designed to predict population fluctuations in a community could be called a?
Ecological model
Where Primary succession could not happen?

What happens to the total biomass in an ecosystem during succession?
Well you see, as ecological succession happens, it brings down the diversity due to over population in areas from construction and building. When the animals are pushed too close together they eat each other by competition and predation. How I know, my teacher gave me a real big sticker that said i could, now go do some real work.

How could pond succession be stopped?
if you empty out the fallen in sediments that have built in you could stop pond succession...at least temporarily

Why ecological balance important to your country?
An unbalanced ecology is unstable and unsustainable. For example, if rabbits were to breed out of control for a generation, at first they would devastate local plant life and predator such as foxes would have a population boom as their food sources proliferated. However, once the plant food supply was exhausted, the rabbits would begin to starve and die off, as would their predators. Eventually, this could lead to total ecological collapse. As such, ecological balance is important to every country.
Which parts of the ecosystem had to be establishes before the primary succession could occur?
The parts of the ecosystem that had to be established before the primary succession shown in the transparency could occur is the lichens, rocks and soil...also that the mosses, ferns, shrubs, and grasses are parts of the primary succession.
