September 10th - Ecological Succession


Well, today: more reading. Hopefully, you were all able to get down the concept of ecological succession, both Primary and Secondary Succession. Please make sure you know that both require a Pioneer Species but that each will have a different type because of different availability of soil and nutrients. Understand that soil is what is really needed to begin, then the presence of nutrients from simple organisms dying. Eventually, succession will lead to a climax where there is no longer much, if any at all, newly introduced organisms succeeding others.
