What else can I help you with?
Succession is the series of predictable changes that occur over time in a?
natural community following a disturbance. It involves a gradual process of colonization, establishment, and replacement of plant and animal species until a stable climax community is reached.
Explain why plants do not occur in the succession of a whale-fall community as they do in land-ecosystem succession?
Whale Fall Community The metabolic capabilities of terrestrial and marine microbial communities were compared using largely unassembled sequence data obtained by shotgun sequencing DNA isolated from whale fall and soil.
What is change in a community over time called?
A change in plant communities through time is Succession.
What influence do humans have in succession?
Human beings influence succession by suspending succession at one phase, for example, through forest fires. This causes the cycle to restart. Succession is the process by which a plant community replace another overtime.
How does change over time occur?
Any change over time is called rate
The regrowth of a community where there is already soil and seeds present is called?
Secondary succession. This process occurs after a disturbance (such as a fire or flood) that leaves soil intact and seeds available for new plant growth. As the community regrows, it transitions from pioneer species to more complex and diverse plant communities.
What is the scientific term for a stage in plant succession?
The scientific term for a stage in plant succession is "seral stage." This refers to the sequence of changes in plant communities over time in a particular area, leading to the establishment of a climax community.
What is a stable mix of population expected in a given area following the process of succession called?
A stable mix of population expected in a given area following the process of succession is called a climax community. This is the final stage in the process of ecological succession, where the plant and animal species in the area have reached a state of equilibrium and are well adapted to the prevailing environmental conditions.
What type of succession takes place when there is no existing biotic community to begin with?
Primary succession occurs when there is no existing biotic community present. This type of succession starts with bare rock or soil and involves the gradual process of ecosystem development over time. Pioneer species, such as lichens and mosses, are the first to colonize the area and pave the way for more complex plant and animal communities to establish.
What is weed succession?
Weed succession refers to the process by which certain plant species, typically fast-growing and adaptable weeds, dominate disturbed or vacant areas before being replaced by more competitive plant species. It is a gradual transition from an initial colonization by weeds to a more stable and diverse plant community.
What is succession in biology?
When a community is replaced by another community.
Primary succession is esancialy the same thing as what?
Primary succession is essentially the same thing as ecological succession, which refers to the process of gradual change in an ecological community over time. Primary succession specifically refers to the process of establishing plant and animal communities in an area that was previously barren, such as bare rock or sand.
