Ecological Succesion
Key Factors
Biodiversity
Over time biodiversity drives a wider range of variation in ecosystems. The variation transforms different biomes and makes different opportunities for adaptations
Soil development
Soil development is a very important process of ecological succession. It actis as both a driver and a result of the changes in plant and animal communities over time.
Time
Time is the reason why species are able to change. Without time everything would just be frozen and no changes would be able to occur.
Types of succession
Hydrach
This type of succession occurs in water and happens when water sources such as marshes =change in form and create new unique habitats for organisms
Autogenic
Autogenic succession happens when a community changes by themselves, due to either adaptations or need for new resources. The area around them can also create an autogenic succession
Allogenic
Allogenic succession is a type of ecological succession created by external, abiotic factors rather than by the organisms that are in the community or ecosystem themselves.
Ecological Impact
Habitat formation
The formation of new habitats contributes ecological succession because without the no species would be able to adapt.
-
Primary Succession
New habitat forms
Pioneer Species
Pioneer species are the organisms that are first to adapt fully to their new habitat after a disaster.
Primary succession is ecological development that happens in completely barren areas. They're areas such as new lava flows, retreating glaciers, or exposed rock where no soil exists.

Stages of Succession
Succession is a slow but bountiful progress with it usually starting off slow but in the end ending up with many different variation of species
