Some changes to an ecosystem are natural, some are man-made

Succession
• The normal, gradual changes that occur in the types of species that live in an area.
![Page 17: Changing Ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815448550346895dc25a3e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Primary Succession
• How will these areas (volcanic rock and glacial rock deposit) change?
• What will plants need to survive here?
![Page 19: Changing Ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815448550346895dc25a3e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Primary Succession
• Succession that begins in a place that previously had no soil or plants.
![Page 20: Changing Ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815448550346895dc25a3e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Pioneer Species
• First plants to inhabit an area.
• They often begin the soil building process by breaking down the rocks along with weathering and erosion.
![Page 21: Changing Ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815448550346895dc25a3e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Lichen• A common pioneer species, it produces
acid that helps weather the rock into soil.
• When it dies, it will also help fertilize the newly forming soil.

As soil forms, seeds are blown in or dropped by birds or other animals

Secondary Succession
• Succession that occurs where soil is already present.
![Page 24: Changing Ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815448550346895dc25a3e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Secondary succession occurs much faster than primary succession-Why?

Climax Community• A community of plants that is relatively
stable and undisturbed and has reached an end stage of succession. (ex-a forest)

What type of succession will occur here?
• Surtsey, an island off the coast of Iceland. It was created in 1963 by a volcanic eruption.
