succession concept map
ecological succession
various boxes and connections as per the concept map
primary succession secondary succession forest fire
grasses start growing new volcanic rock
pioneer organisms begin to grow pre - existing soil bare rock
climax community ps climax community ss
This is a concept map for ecological succession, which has two main types. We match the provided terms to the empty boxes based on the definitions and progression of primary and secondary succession:
- Ecological Succession branches into two types: Primary Succession (left) and Secondary Succession (right).
- Primary Succession: Starts with bare/sterile substrate, so it starts with Bare rock (or New volcanic rock, a type of bare rock). The first organisms are pioneer species, so "and then" leads to Pioneer organisms begin to grow. The breakdown of rock forms soil, then shrubs/trees grow to form Climax Community PS. It can also occur after a major disturbance like a volcanic eruption, but the provided post-disturbance term for the left is not listed, but the core start is bare rock.
- Secondary Succession: Starts in an area with pre-existing soil, so it starts with Pre-existing soil. Its causes include disturbances like Forest Fire. It progresses faster to Climax Community SS.
Filling the map step-by-step (left to right, top to bottom):
- Top left dashed box: Primary Succession
- Top right dashed box: Secondary Succession
- Primary "starts with": Bare rock (or New volcanic rock)
- Primary "may occur after": (No matching term provided, but the rest follow)
- Primary "and then": Pioneer organisms begin to grow
- Primary final "forming a": Climax Community PS
- Secondary "starts with": Pre-existing soil
- Secondary "causes include": Forest Fire
- Secondary final "to reach a": Climax Community SS
