3Fig. 13.1 Old Krakatau (shown by the dashed line)
was destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 1883,
leaving only Rakata, a lifeless remnant, at the
southern end.
4Fig. 13.2 The number of species on Rakata as a
function of time after the Krakatau explosion.
5Succession Defined
- Degradative succession ??
- Autotrophic (??) succession
- Hetrotrophic (??) succession
- Primary succession
- Secondary succession
- Pioneer stage
- Seral stage
- Climax ??,???,???? (disclimax)
6The role of disturbance in communities
- Disturbance, any relatively discrete event in
time that disrupts ecosystem, community, or
population structure and changes resource or
substrate availability or the abiotic
environment. - The effect of a disturbance depends on the nature
of the disturbance and the type of habitat.

12Patterns of successional Change
- Primary succession
- Dune succession
- Succession after recent glaciation
- Secondary succession
- Old field succession
- Succession in lodgepole pine forest
- Variation in the patterns of succession

23Fig. 13.12 The four stages of lodgepole pine
succession in Yellostone National Park. In stage
I (0-50 years) after the fire.
24Fig. 13.12 The four stages of lodgepole pine
succession in Yellostone National Park. In stage
II, characterized by the maturation of the trees.
(50-150 years)
25Fig. 13.12 The four stages of lodgepole pine
succession in Yellostone National Park. In stage
III. As some of the trees in Stage II begin to
die, Stage III begins. Trees mature and weaken,
and many are killed by bark beetles. Light
reaches the forest floor, and seedlings germinate
and grow.
26Fig. 13.12 Stage IV begins after approximately
250 years. Lodgepoles are reaching their maximum
life span and death are common. This stage is
very vulnerable to fire.
27Fig. 13.13 Historical pattern of fires in
Yellostone based on tree-ring data.

Lake Michigan sand dunes.
30Fig. 13.16 Alternative successional pathways in
taiga. The paths vary depending on the
microclimate and substrate.
31Mechanisms of successional change
- Connell-Slatyer Models
- Facilitation model
- Tolerance model
- Inhibition model
- Tilmans Resource model
- Light and soil nitrogen are inversely related.
- Succession is driven by the change in species
composition dictated by the changes in resources
over time.
32Fig. 13.24 Tilmans model of succession
33Probabilistic models of succession
- Horn (1975) attempted to assess the succession
could be described as a statistical process
dependent on a series of transition probabilities
from one state to another. - ???Markov chains ????,transitions from one state
to another are stochastic process that depend
only on the current state, not on any previous
state.
34????????,The two distributions are not
statistically different.
