What else can I help you with?
Are there more types of species in a mature forest or in a forest undergoing succession?
There are generally more species in a mature forest compared to a forest undergoing succession. Mature forests have a stable, diverse community of plants and animals that have had time to establish and coexist, while forests undergoing succession have fewer established species as the ecosystem evolves and develops.
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.
Can a grassland community change into a Forest community?
Yes, a grassland community can change into a forest community through a process called ecological succession. This happens when environmental conditions such as increased precipitation or shade allow trees to establish and dominate the landscape, eventually transitioning the grassland into a forest ecosystem.
Which term refers to the final stage in a forest's development?
Climax community is the term that refers to the final stage in a forest's development, where the ecosystem reaches a stable and balanced state.
After an event such as a forest fire an ecosystem experiences what is called?
After a forest fire, an ecosystem goes through a process called succession. This is the gradual change in plant and animal communities over time as the ecosystem recovers and regenerates. Initially, pioneer species colonize the area followed by a more diverse community as succession progresses.
When ecological succession takes place in centeral new jersey the most probable climax community would be a mature forest?
Yes
After a major forest fire the process of succession begins changes the ecosystem?
It is a phenomenon or process by which an ecological community undergoes more or less orderly and predictable changes following a disturbance or the initial colonization of a new habitat. Succession may be initiated either by formation of new, unoccupied habitat, such as from a lava flow or a severe landslide, or by some form of disturbance, such as from a fire, severe wind-throw, logging, of an existing community. Succession that begins in new habitats, uninfluenced by pre-existing communities is called primary succession, whereas succession that follows disruption of a pre-existing community is called secondary succession
Is a forest fire a primary succession?
yes.
What impact do humans have on succession?
This seemingly simple question has a complicated answer. Succession is the process by which one plant community replaces another over time in a given space, i.e. grassland to deciduous forest to coniferous forest. Natural events, such as forest fires, can reset the succession cycle back to a grassland, for instance, at any point in the cycle. Humans can impact succession in a number of ways by suspending succession in one phase or another or by causing an event that restarts the succession cycle (i.e. starting a forest fire). Suspending succession: We suspend succession when we promote one type of ecological community over another. For example, we manage some forests for the purpose of harvesting timber at a later time. Here, the emphasis is on mature, full-bodied trees that have balanced competition from neighboring trees. These trees will be harvested before they begin to fall down and begin to turn the forest into an old-growth forest where new growth comes up where old trees fall in the forest. Promoting and attempting to sustain this type of forest prohibits plants and animals that specialize in old-growth forests from getting established. Another interesting way in which we impact succession has been the impetus to extinguish all forest fires since the early 1900s. Fires are naturally occurring and are an important way in which forest ages are regulated naturally, which, in turn, regulates the mosaic of food sources and wildlife habitats that occur. Putting out fires for most of the last century has resulted in larger forest fires more recently and decreased plant & animal diversity. Restarting succession: We also can restart succession by starting wildfires, either intentionally or unintentionally. While not inherently bad in the grand scheme of nature - after all, nature in many cases depends on fire - it is a way in which man impacts succession.
