Ecological Succession

Biodiversity

• The sum of the different forms of living things in a given area or population

• The alteration of the area and conditions in which an organism lives so that the organism can no longer live in them

• A force of nature that results in catastrophic consequences

• The development of an ecological community in a previously uninhabited location

Climax Community

• The dynamically stable ecological community representing the final stage of ecological succession.

• A biotic or abiotic environmental factor that restricts the growth of a population

• The first plant species to grow during primary succession

• The development of an ecological community in an area that was once inhabited but experienced devastation.

Habitat Destruction

• The alteration of the area and conditions in which an organism lives so that the organism can no longer live in them

• The development of an ecological community in an area that was once inhabited but experienced devastation.

• A force of nature that results in catastrophic consequences

• The sum of the different forms of living things in a given area or population

Limiting Factor

• A biotic or abiotic environmental factor that restricts the growth of a population

• The dynamically stable ecological community representing the final stage of ecological succession.

• The development of an ecological community in a previously uninhabited location

• The development of an ecological community in a previously uninhabited location

Natural Disaster

• A force of nature that results in catastrophic consequences

• A biotic or abiotic environmental factor that restricts the growth of a population

• The first plant species to grow during primary succession

• The development of an ecological community in a previously uninhabited location

Pioneer Species

• The first plant species to grow during primary succession

• The sum of the different forms of living things in a given area or population

• A biotic or abiotic environmental factor that restricts the growth of a population

• The dynamically stable ecological community representing the final stage of ecological succession.

Primary Succession

• The development of an ecological community in a previously uninhabited location

• The development of an ecological community in an area that was once inhabited but experienced devastation.

• The alteration of the area and conditions in which an organism lives so that the organism can no longer live in them

• The dynamically stable ecological community representing the final stage of ecological succession.

Secondary Succession

• The development of an ecological community in an area that was once inhabited but experienced devastation.

• The dynamically stable ecological community representing the final stage of ecological succession.

• The first plant species to grow during primary succession

• The development of an ecological community in a previously uninhabited location
