Succession learning outcomesYou should all be able to:Define successionIdentify the two types of succession and the difference between them

Most of you should be able to:Distinguish between zonation and succession

Some of you might be able to:Describe the change in specific species through the process of succession within a named habitat.Succession the orderly process or change over time in the composition of a community.

Time

Two types of successionPrimary the colonization of newly created land by organisms

Secondary This occurs in places where the previous communities have been destroyed e.g. forest fire.

Two types of succession

Watch the simulation and make notes about what happens at the different stages.http://www.mrphome.net/mrp/succession.swf

Zonation.The arrangement or patterning of plant communities or ecosystems into bands in response to change in some environmental factor over distance.What environmental factors cause changes to the vegetation?

Can you think of any real-world examples where this might happen?

These are the different stages through which succession passes

This is the final community in the stages of succession

Succession in a dry habitat

This is the first community in the stages of succession

A set of communities that succeed one another over the course of succession at a particular location

Succession on bare rockPrimary succession - stagesOn your handout match the correct description to each stage of primary successionCase study sand dunes (primary succession)Read the case study and answer the questions.

Make sure you are taking notes of the different organisms found at each stage this will be your named habitat.On a sheet of paperDefine the term succession.

Define primary and secondary succession and the difference between them.

What are the main differences between succession and zonation?
