SUCCESSION

Change of ecosystems over time
• New habitats are created when a volcano forms a new island, a glacier recedes and exposes new rock or a fire burns all vegetation in an area.

How does an ecosystem develop?
We can study that by watching what happens in an area where there has never been soil

Primary succession
• Succession that occurs where plants have not grown before is called primary succession.

Primary succession following the retreat of a glacier.

Soil begins with weathering of rocks and establishment of lichens
• First come lichens, which attach to rocks, reproduce – some die.
Microscopic fungi and bacteria can move in to decompose the dead lichens. With decomposition, nutrients are added to the soil. The soil can now support small fast-growing plants. Seeds are deposited by winds or birds.

LICHENS
Mutualism!
Fungi help fasten the
lichen to rock , algae do
photosynthesis to feed the
fungi

Pioneer species
• The first organisms to live in a new habitat are small, fast-growing plants, called
pioneer species.

As the pioneer species reproduce and die, they are decomposed and add more nutrients to the soil.
Before long, the deeper richer soil supports the life of more types of plants- this is the start of BIODIVERSITY.
More and larger plants provide a home for insects and small animals, which move in, reproduce and die. Their remains makes the soil thicker and richer.

Primary succession
• The same ground 2 years later, is now covered in grasses and flowering plants, and a host of insects and animals

Over time….look what happens!
• SUCCESSION!!!!
![Page 12: SUCCESSION. Change of ecosystems over time New habitats are created when a volcano forms a new island, a glacier recedes and exposes new rock or a fire.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649f115503460f94c24117/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Secondary succession
Succession that occur in areas where there has been previous growth. Soil is already present.

Secondary succession
• A recently cleared patch of ground, left to grow in its wild state

After flood or fire

Soil is present
• Secondary succession happens quickly
• The stable community that remains will depend on the climate, and abiotic factors.
• A stable desert community looks very different from a temperate forest!...WHY??

Does the picture below represent primary or
secondary succession?

One last type of succession…pond to meadow

HILTON POND- Piedmont NC 1982
![Page 21: SUCCESSION. Change of ecosystems over time New habitats are created when a volcano forms a new island, a glacier recedes and exposes new rock or a fire.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649f115503460f94c24117/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The same pond, 10 years later
![Page 22: SUCCESSION. Change of ecosystems over time New habitats are created when a volcano forms a new island, a glacier recedes and exposes new rock or a fire.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649f115503460f94c24117/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Flagg Pond
• Our pond on the BHS campus was once used for canoeing and swimming. It was used to harvest ice in the winter for Ice boxes, before refrigerators were common. It is now getting close to the later stages of succession…..
• Go take a walk- look for the signs of succession!

One thing is constant in ecosystems…
THEY ARE ALWAYS CHANGING!!!
