Study Notes
Primary Succession
- Primary succession occurs in areas where no soil or vegetation existed before, such as after a volcanic eruption or in a newly formed delta.
- It begins with the establishment of pioneer species, such as lichens and mosses, which are able to survive in harsh conditions.
Factors Influencing Plant Succession
- Climate, topography, and soil type are factors that influence the process of plant succession.
- Human activities, such as deforestation and land use, can also impact plant succession.
- Not a factor that influences plant succession: the presence of a particular species of bird.
Autogenic and Allogenic Succession
- Autogenic succession is driven by changes within the ecosystem itself, such as the accumulation of organic matter or the creation of shade.
- Allogenic succession is driven by external factors, such as changes in climate or the introduction of new species.
