  13. How Ecosystems Change Naturally

  14. What changes will you see?

  15. Succession • The normal, gradual changes that occur in the types of species that live in an area.

  16. Primary Succession • How will these areas (volcanic rock and glacial rock deposit) change? • What will plants need to survive here?

  17. Primary Succession • Succession that begins in a place that previously had no soil or plants.

  18. Pioneer Species • First plants to inhabit an area. • They often begin the soil building process by breaking down the rocks along with weathering and erosion.

  19. Lichen • A common pioneer species, it produces acid that helps weather the rock into soil. • When it dies, it will also help fertilize the newly forming soil.

  20. As soil forms, seeds are blown in or dropped by birds or other animals

  21. Secondary Succession • Succession that occurs where soil is already present.

  22. Secondary succession occurs much faster than primary succession-Why?

  23. Climax Community • A community of plants that is relatively stable and undisturbed and has reached an end stage of succession. (ex-a forest)

  24. Review

  25. What type of succession will occur here? • Surtsey, an island off the coast of Iceland. It was created in 1963 by a volcanic eruption.

  26. Primary Succession

  27. What will the first species to move in be called? • Pioneer Species

  28. What is a common pioneer species? • Lichen (Like-ehn)

  29. What type of succession will occur here? • Secondary succession

  30. What is the final stage of succession called? • Climax Community
