Examining the Stages in Ecological Succession ... Succession, a series of environmental changes, occurs in all ecosystems. The stages that any ecosystem passes through are predictable. In this activity, you will place the stages of succession of two ecosystems into sequence.

The grass will sprout back quickly in the spring, but that side of the small creek will end up reaching the last stages of succession -here a deciduous forest - perhaps 5-10 years later than the unburned area.

Ecosystems undergo secondary succession following some artificial or natural disturbance such as a forest fire or farming. In 1850, Connecticut was almost entirely open land cleared for farming or timber. ... This photo shows three successional stages. Click on one of these three areas:

In a naturally occurring ecosystem, vegetation occurs in a patchwork of different community types and age classes (or seral stages). This diversity is important for the health and sustainability of the landscape.

The life cycle of Heather (), which is usually one of the dominant plants of British heathlands, can be described in terms of four main stages. ... Where succession to woodland is checked, a mixed age structure of heather develops and plants representing all phases are distributed throughout the vegetation.

During a succession, different groups of plants grow at a site over time. The diagram shows a succession from bare ground to a mature forest. ... Plants that colonise bare ground are typically hardy and low-growing. In time, shrubs and small trees grow among the first plants, and a shrubland develops. Seedlings of tall...

Examination of the seasonal variation in LAI for three successional stages in a tropical dry forest indicated differences in timing of leaf fall according to successional stage and functional group (i.e., lianas and trees).
