2.6 Ecological Succession
This video explains the concept of ecological succession.
Key Points:
-Ecological succession is a fundamental ecological concept illustrating how ecosystems change and develop over time.
-It is often described as a process that involves changes in the species composition and habitats of an area over time, taking decades or even centuries.
-An example is provided to explain succession using the transformation of a barren land into a residential area, and eventually into a different industrial setting as per the changing human and environmental requirements.
-Primary succession starts on barren or rocky lands where there is no initial soil.
-Over hundreds of years, organisms like lichens contribute to rock weathering, resulting in soil formation and enabling the growth of plants.
-Secondary succession occurs after an ecological disturbance like a fire or a volcanic eruption that destroys the climax community.
-The ecosystem gradually recovers, starting with pioneer species such as lichens and small plants, progressing to shrubs and trees, and eventually leading back to a climax community.
-The process of succession is not permanent; it can be set back or altered by natural events, indicating that ecological succession is a dynamic and cyclical process.
Conclusions and Takeaways:
Ecological succession is an ongoing, cyclical process reflecting changes in an ecosystem over lengthy periods and is a core concept in understanding ecological balance and transformation.
