ecological succession
Texte du Storyboard
- Interesting!
- Sure, we are now in the same climax community forest ecosystem we were in before, and the population of a species of animal in the ecosystem grows greater, and the community will have much higher biodiversity. Since the ecosystem is much more biodiverse, it is also higher in sustainability. Since there is also much more vegetation in a climax community, there is less weathering.
- Very fascinating! Thank you for teaching me about this.
- No problem! Just remember that the disturbance can happen at any stage of ecological succession, primary succession, secondary succession, or climax community.
- At this stage in ecological succession, it is a balanced ecosystem, meaning that the ecosystem goes through very little change, since the ecosystem is in homeostasis. In a climax community, larger animals like bears will start to appear, as well as tall trees like hickory.
- Yes! Natural disasters such as wildfires, wind storms, or avalanches won't take the ecosystem all the way back to primary succession, only secondary succession. In the case of a wildfire, some organisms like plants or animals may still exist in the area.
- That's pretty cool, could you tell me about climax community?
