Cain Schlichter. Ecological succession is a series of more or less predictable changes.
ecological successionPrimary 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. Named after rugged human pioneers who first settled the wilderness. First species to populate an area during succession Pioneer species A volcanic eruption like mount saint Helens and Krakatoa. Example of primary 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.Secondary SUCCESSION
An abandoned field turning back to a forest Example of secondary succession
This was a flood in Mississippi the trees had adapted to water so they regrew and still have a very large population in Mississippi.Secondary Succession after natural 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!Differences of Secondary Succession after human disturbance
