box labeled sere
box labeled disturbance

three boxes with descriptions and three dashed boxes below for matching

1. stage of plant growth in an ecosystem which adapts in a series from uncolonized community to climax community where the ecosystem reaches a stable plant community
2. gradual change from one sere to another as an ecosystem moves towards a climax community
3. disruption in a sere which changes a plant community, usually to an earlier sere

Explanation:

To solve this matching problem, we analyze the definitions:

1. Sere: A stage of plant growth in an ecosystem that adapts from an uncolonized community to a climax community (matches the first definition).
2. Succession: Gradual change from one sere to another as the ecosystem moves toward a climax community (matches the second definition).
3. Disturbance: A disruption in a sere that changes a plant community to an earlier sere (matches the third definition).

Matching:

• Sere → stage of plant growth in an ecosystem which adapts in a series from uncolonized community to climax community where the ecosystem reaches a stable plant community
• Succession → gradual change from one sere to another as an ecosystem moves towards a climax community
• Disturbance → disruption in a sere which changes a plant community, usually to an earlier sere

(Note: If this were a drag - and - drop task, you would move each term to its corresponding definition box as per the above matches.)
