Ecological Succession and Patterns of Evolution
media

2

Primary Succession
  • Lichens and moss (pioneer species) appear

  • Erosion breaks rocks apart into smaller pieces and decomposition of pioneer species adds nutrients to the ground (soil formation)

  • Small annuals (plants) start to appear

  • Grasses and ferns (perennials) appear

  • Shrubs and bushes appear

  • Softwoods such as conifers (trees with cones) appear

  • Hardwoods such as oak, maple, hickory, walnut, and cherry trees

3

Secondary Succession

Process in which recolonization of plants occurs after some kind of natural disaster such as a forest fire.


Quicker than primary succession since the soil still remains.

Patterns and Rates of Evolution

​Natural disasters and major events not only change the environment but the species that live there too. As the ecosystems change, so do the populations
