Summary
Details/Definitions
Bare rock is exposed
due to some type of
disturbance like a
retreating glacier or
volcanic eruption. No
soil is present.
Pioneer species, like
lichens and mosses,
establish themselves
on the rock substrate.
Pioneer species die
and decay, providing
soil and nutrients for
other plant species like
shrubs and small trees.
Small and Large trees
begin to grow, and the
community reaches an
equilibrium or
balance. This results in
a climax community.
Primary Succession: The establishment of new community where none existed before.

•Stable, end stage of ecological succession in which
organisms use resources efficiently and balance is
maintained.
Organisms are driven
away or killed by some
type of disturbance,
like a forest fire,
leaving behind only
the soil.
Pioneer species, like
grasses and weeds,
begin to grow from the
soil. Roots and seeds
left over may also
begin to grow again.
Some pioneers species
die and are replace or
outcompeted by other
species like shrubs and
small trees.
Small and Large trees
begin to grow, and the
community reaches an
equilibrium or
balance. This results in
a climax community.
Secondary Succession: The reestablishment of community following disturbance.
Habitat Vocabulary
pg 109
Primary Succession- when an area regrows after
a disturbance has removed all plants and SOIL
Secondary Succession- when an area re-grows
itself after a disturbance has removed all
plants and the soil still remains
Pioneer Species- the first species to start
growing in an area
Climax Community- when an area has grown
into a stable community
Climax Community
•Stable, end stage of ecological succession in which
organisms use resources efficiently and balance is
maintained.
