What is ecologial succession?

Question

What is ecologial succession?

Answer 1

Ecological succession consists of the succession of organisms within a given area. For example on a Sand dune.The sand dune is made up of the:

1.Embryo Dune.

2.Fore Dune.

3.Main Dune.

4.Grey Dune.

On each dune there are plant successions:

1.Embryo Dune = Sea Couch

2.Fore Dune = Marram Grass

3.Main Dune = Gorse

4.Grey Dune = Pine and Birch

You can see how the species of plants change as their distance increases form the sea.

Note: The sand dune itself is an ecological succession.
