This fertile land is not possible without pioneer species helping to create the soil in a previously barren environment.

Generally, pioneer organisms begin to colonize land without soil or land disturbed by things like forest fires or floods, and diversity within the ecosystem builds upon itself until a climax ecosystem is reached (until the next disturbance, when succession begins again).]]> 2018-11-19 18:49:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/306068907 seth_wolters15 https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/306069199 Seth Wolter: Ecological succession is the the changing of an ecosystem overtime, from small, non-complex species in an area, to increasingly more complex and large species.]]> 2018-11-19 18:50:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/306069199 https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/306069295 Lucas Hales - Succession is the process through which an ecosystem develops from less complexity to more complexity over time. Succession can begin without soil (primary succession) or with soil (secondary succession), but either way the ecosystem is constantly changed as more complex organisms move in, force the less complex organisms out by competition, and continue the development of the ecosystem.

Primary succession is where the starting area does not have soil, while secondary is when the starting area does have soil. The process starts with the growth and death of moss and lichen, and then as the soil gains nutrients, it can support more plants. These plants also contribute to the nutrients in the soil when they decompose, thus continuing the cycle until you have a diverse and large ecosystem.  ]]> 2018-11-19 18:52:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/306070335 https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/306070582 Sascha Godfrey - Ecological succession is the rebirth or formation of an ecosystem after a disturbance. Primary succession occurs when there is no soil present after a disturbance, and secondary succession occurs when soil is already present in an ecosystem. Primary succession begins with the growth of lichen, which breaks down rock and decomposes, leaving nutrients in the soil for small plants like grass take root. These plants are brought by seeds from wind, birds, water, or other animals. After grasses develop, shrubs follow, then small trees, eventually leading to a mature forest. A forest with lots of large trees, as well as small plant life such as moss, shrubs, and plants is called a climax forest.]]> 2018-11-19 18:53:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/306070582 https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/306072990 Faith Hardin: succession is the process in which life grows from an otherwise dead environment. This begins when pioneer species, like lichen and moss, begin to grow and break down the soil. When they do this, they add nutrients into the soil, which allows more and more complex species of plants to grown and species of animals to thrive. Eventually, the environment reaches a stable "climax" stage, where it thrives until a natural disaster of some sort forces the cycle to start all over again.]]> 2018-11-19 18:58:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/306072990 https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/306077603 Ava Heffernan - Succession is the process by which life forms come to populate are area starting with pioneer species. Primary succession could be if the ecosystem has never been populated before or it could be secondary succession if the habitat was disturbed or destroyed. Pioneer species come in to an area to fix the soil and allow for the growth of the ecosystem and the ability to support other organism.

Scientists study two main types of succession: primary and secondary succession. Primary succession takes place after a major disturbance has occurred in an area. The area no longer contains soil or any living organisms. This process takes hundreds or thousands of years. An example of primary succession is the development of an area with exposed rock due to retreating glaciers. Secondary succession is more common and takes place after a smaller disturbance has occurred in an area. This type of succession happens in an area that still contains soil. An example of secondary succession is the development of a clear cut forest. ]]> 2018-11-20 19:43:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/306511928 bennett_flemings15 https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/307547298 Succession is when an area with little to no life present transforms into in to a complex fully developed forest starting out with moss and lichens, to grass and shrubs, and then to larger trees.]]> 2018-11-25 18:52:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/307547298 bennett_flemings15 https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/307547571 Succession is when an area with little to no life present is transformed into an area with large varieties of life in a fully developed forest.

It starts with a small amount of organic matter, say waste from a bird. Then likens and mosses utilize this waste to grow, eventually getting nutrients from the rocks as rain, as well as the air. The mosses and likens decompose, adding nutrients to the sand, which starts to become soil. The soil is able to support larger plants like grasses. Then these plants die and make the soil richer, so then shrubs can grow. The plants keep getting bigger and more complex in this manner until you have a fully fledged forest. This process starts life in an area, and also helps that area gain life back after a disaster.]]> 2019-09-26 18:06:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/390217449 https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/390918377 Ecological succession is basically the process in which life grows back after a disturbance that took place in an environment. This disturbance could be either man-made or a natural disaster. After this disturbance the environment is left barren either with or without soil. If there is no soil then small non-vascular plants (lichen and moss) begin to grow and break down the rocky terrain. This broken down rocky terrain turns into soil and more plants can grow with rich soil until they get bigger and more complex as bigger plants take over the smaller plants until there is complete regrowth. If there is soil left over then the process just picks up with small plants and takes off from there. These processes take a very long time. ]]> 2019-09-28 20:57:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/390918377 https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/390918401 Isaac Wilson (above)]]> 2019-09-28 20:57:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/390918401 https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391042929 Kira Cornell: Environmental succession is the process in which an ecosystem changes and grows.

This goes on for  a while until the ecosystem has developed to a stable point, and then even after it gets destroyed by some event this process happens again forever.]]> 2019-09-30 17:53:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391499746 https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391502435 Anna Grace Burns: Ecological succession is the cycle in which an ecosystem is born, and then dies. From the time it starts, inside forces begin to help with the growth and success of the ecosystem, a domino effect. It eventually reaches a point where not much is left to grow, and then outside forces end up destroying it. Nevertheless, the process will eventually start all over again. ]]> 2019-09-30 17:57:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391502435 https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391502669 Halle Boroski: Ecological succession is the continuation and change of a species or of soil over a fluctuating amount of time. This occurs after an ecological event, such as a forest fire, changes the physical parts of an ecosystem so that it can replenish and start anew. ]]> 2019-09-30 17:57:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391502669 https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391503732 Ashley Behringer: Ecological Succession is the process in which life evolves after an ecological disturbance. This event causes complex organisms to evolve. The environment starts out small with little vegetation and progressively grows larger. Then, another event occurs, typically a disaster, where the whole process of ecological succession repeats.  ]]> 2019-09-30 17:59:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391503732 https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391504310 Succession is how an area of land restores itself after it is destroyed. The land starts as plain sand or rock, and eventually develops into a full-grown ecosystem over time and with the help of wind, rain, and sunlight. Different stages of succession have different types of plants and animals throughout the process. Succession is a cycle so eventually the renewed land will get destroyed again and go through succession.

The ecosystem starts as something very primitive, like sand, and then over time, becomes more complex with animals and plants. After each succession, the ecosystem replenishes and becomes more complex after a major event that starts over the cycle]]> 2019-09-30 18:02:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391506199 https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391511326 Elliott Woods- Ecological succession is the changing and growing of the pants and soil in an ecosystem. A ecosystem starts with nothing but sand and rocks and can develop into a big forest. Mosses and lichens will start growing and then die which betters the soil, then bigger plants like grass then shrubs then trees and eventually you have a ecosystem.]]> 2019-09-30 18:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391511326 https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391512247 Helena Dauverd: Ecological succession is the process in which the cycle of life is repeated through an ecosystem. An ecosystem begins with simple stages and turns into a more diverse system until it is destroyed by natural disasters. After this, the cycle begins again. ]]> 2019-09-30 18:10:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391512247 https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391512405 Callie Williamson: Ecological succession is essentially the life cycle of an entire ecosystem. An ecosystem begins with simple plants and few animals, then it grows to support more complex plants and animals over time. There are many stages to this development. If a natural disaster occurs or the ecosystem is damaged or destroyed, the process of ecological succession starts over.]]> 2019-09-30 18:11:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391512405 https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391609594 Ava New: Ecological succession is when a community is restored after a disturbance. This process begins by pioneer species like lichen and moss moving in and growing. These species then decompose in order to create new soil where more plants can grow. This leads to more and more advanced plants moving in and animal species returning to the area. Ecological succession is basically when an event or a disturbance alters an ecosystem, and then the ecosystem goes through a series of changes to restore itself. ]]> 2019-09-30 22:18:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391609594 https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391665469 Hana Leonard: Ecological succession is the regeneration or formation of biotic/abiotic factors in an ecosystem. The amount of time it takes for an ecosystem to regenerate these factors can span from a few decades to millions of years. In primary succession, the area is most often completely barren of soil and most life. A pioneer species (usually lichen/moss) is then introduced and alters the land to make it biologically feasible for other plants and animals to settle in the ecosystem. In secondary succession, animals usually return to a habitat after an intermediate natural or man-made disaster- in this case, soil remains, and animals slowly return as competition increases. ]]> 2019-10-01 03:02:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391665469 https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391669653 Demario Negron: Ecological succession is the development of organisms in an ecosystem. There are two types of succession: primary and secondary. Primary succession is the formation of an ecosystem in a "new" area, or an area without soil. Communities in these areas start out with a pioneer species that colonizes the area first. Common pioneer species include lichen and moss. Secondary succession is similar to primary, as it follows the same ecological sequence, though it takes place in an area that previously had plants and animals in a full ecological community, hence the term "secondary." This type of succession is normally preceded by an ecological disturbance, such as a natural disaster or human activity (deforestation). Both of these processes are fueled by competition for space and resources, which results in the transition from organic matter and moss into full ecosystems, with plants and animals of all different shapes and sizes.]]> 2019-10-01 03:23:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391669653 https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391675916 Jalessa Ellis - Ecological succession is the process where an ecosystem gradually changes over a long period of time.  In this process an uninhabited area is turned into a community and starts off with lichens or mosses.  ]]> 2019-10-01 03:57:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391675916 https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391678643 Lydia Runyambo- Ecological succession is the process of regrowth over time of organisms in an ecological community. In an area that doesn't contain soil erosion, wind, or rain eventually passes on a seed  that starts a cycle of growth of organisms in the area. In areas that are disturbed but still have soil go through a similar process as the other "bare rock" areas, but can be a bit faster because the soil is ready to be used.  ]]> 2019-10-01 04:15:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391678643 https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391994623 Cynthia Reagan- Ecological succession is a process over time of organism growth in an ecological area. There are two types; Primary succession and Secondary succession. Primary succession is when a habitat starts from just rock, and secondary is when there is soil but not any or little living organisms. ]]> 2019-10-01 16:23:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/391994623 https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/392425503 Rachel Bernier - Ecological Succession is the process in which organisms, populations and communities gradually come back to inhabit an area. Succession is broken down into two parts: Primary and Secondary. Primary succession occurs when there is no soil after a disturbance and pioneer organisms have to start to build up the ecosystem. Secondary succession on the other hand is when soil remains after a ecological disturbance so the small plants can start the process rather than moss or lichen. ]]> 2019-10-02 13:34:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/392425503 https://padlet.com/kristin_riley/r2yitilpgjyu/wish/392551528 Abby Dease: Ecological succession is the process by which the life cycle of an entire ecosystem is continually repeated, beginning with simple forms of plants and animals (pioneer species), which then grows into a larger and more diverse ecosystem with more complex plants and animals in many different stages.

When a disturbance occurs, different pioneer species are the first to come to the devastated area.

This happens over the period of many years. An area with no soil can develop soil and eventually welcome plants and organisms for the first time or to return after a disturbance.
