  2. ecological succession • . Ecological succession is a series of more or less predictable changes.

  3. Primary succession Volcanic explosions are an example of primary secessions Krakatau after the eruption is an example. Secession that occurs in an aria ware no trace of a previous community is present.

  4. Pioneer species • Named after rugged human pioneers who first settled the wilderness. • First species to populate an area during succession

  5. Example of primary succession • A volcanic eruption like mount saint Helen’s and Krakatoa.

  6. Secondary SUCCESSION Is when existing communities are affected by natural or human disturbances but not completely destroyed, because soil survives due to this new vegetation can regrow rapidly.

  7. Example of secondary succession An abandoned field turning back to a forest

  8. Secondary Succession after natural disturbance This was a flood in Mississippi the trees had adapted to water so they regrew and still have a very large population in Mississippi.

  9. Differences of Secondary Succession after human disturbance People cutting down rain forests killings tree population, but since secondary succession the trees will regrow as long as not all of them are cut down!
