Changes in the ecosystem
![Page 2: Changes in the ecosystem. Changes occur all the time in an ecosystem. Trees die and new trees take their place. Young animals are born as the older](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649efa5503460f94c0cb5a/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Changes occur all the time in an ecosystem. Trees die and new trees take their place. Young animals are born as the older ones die.

As long as there are not major disturbances the ecosystem will remain essentially the same.

The natural stability of an ecosystem keeps it from undergoing major changes is called homeostasis.
![Page 5: Changes in the ecosystem. Changes occur all the time in an ecosystem. Trees die and new trees take their place. Young animals are born as the older](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649efa5503460f94c0cb5a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
It’s important to understand the changes in an ecosystem so that we can understand how the ecosystem will react to the changes that human activity tends to bring about.

Pioneer species: the first species to appear during the process of succession, usually mosses, lichens, grasses & weeds.

Climax community: the stable mature community
![Page 8: Changes in the ecosystem. Changes occur all the time in an ecosystem. Trees die and new trees take their place. Young animals are born as the older](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649efa5503460f94c0cb5a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Succession is the process of community development over time.
![Page 9: Changes in the ecosystem. Changes occur all the time in an ecosystem. Trees die and new trees take their place. Young animals are born as the older](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649efa5503460f94c0cb5a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
A mature community will still change but its overall appearance will remain the same.
![Page 10: Changes in the ecosystem. Changes occur all the time in an ecosystem. Trees die and new trees take their place. Young animals are born as the older](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649efa5503460f94c0cb5a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
change in species over time that has not been inhabited by organisms. starts from bare rock.
![Page 11: Changes in the ecosystem. Changes occur all the time in an ecosystem. Trees die and new trees take their place. Young animals are born as the older](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649efa5503460f94c0cb5a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Lichens are the most important element in the initial community called the pioneer community.
![Page 12: Changes in the ecosystem. Changes occur all the time in an ecosystem. Trees die and new trees take their place. Young animals are born as the older](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649efa5503460f94c0cb5a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Lichens are important early pioneer species. Lichen is a species of alga and fungi that live together in a symbiotic relationship.
![Page 13: Changes in the ecosystem. Changes occur all the time in an ecosystem. Trees die and new trees take their place. Young animals are born as the older](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649efa5503460f94c0cb5a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Lichens secrete an acid that breaks down the rock to begin soil formation.

If the process of succession occurs without any disturbances, the species will form the climax community. This is the last stage of succession
![Page 16: Changes in the ecosystem. Changes occur all the time in an ecosystem. Trees die and new trees take their place. Young animals are born as the older](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649efa5503460f94c0cb5a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Each biome has its own climax community. The climax community for PA is the oak-hickory forest as well as the beech, hemlock & maple forest of Northern PA forest.
![Page 17: Changes in the ecosystem. Changes occur all the time in an ecosystem. Trees die and new trees take their place. Young animals are born as the older](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649efa5503460f94c0cb5a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
change in species composition and ecosystem overtime already within a pre-existing community.

Some animals can survive all stages of secondary succession. Most animals appear only in certain stages and disappear with others.

1. Abandoned farms2. Burned or cut forests3. Heavily polluted streams4. Areas affected by flood waters.
![Page 21: Changes in the ecosystem. Changes occur all the time in an ecosystem. Trees die and new trees take their place. Young animals are born as the older](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649efa5503460f94c0cb5a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Fires can be set by lightning, storms or human activity. Burned areas undergo secondary succession.
![Page 22: Changes in the ecosystem. Changes occur all the time in an ecosystem. Trees die and new trees take their place. Young animals are born as the older](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649efa5503460f94c0cb5a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Some communities are immune to fire. For example, the lodgepole pine tree needs temperatures of above several hundreds degrees to germinate their seeds.
![Page 23: Changes in the ecosystem. Changes occur all the time in an ecosystem. Trees die and new trees take their place. Young animals are born as the older](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649efa5503460f94c0cb5a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Serotinous is an ecological adaptation exhibited by some seed plants, in which seed release occurs in response to an environmental trigger, rather than spontaneously at seed maturation. Best trigger is fire.
![Page 24: Changes in the ecosystem. Changes occur all the time in an ecosystem. Trees die and new trees take their place. Young animals are born as the older](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649efa5503460f94c0cb5a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
A disturbance can change an ecosystem both physically & biologically.
![Page 25: Changes in the ecosystem. Changes occur all the time in an ecosystem. Trees die and new trees take their place. Young animals are born as the older](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649efa5503460f94c0cb5a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Disturbances can be natural or due to human actions.
![Page 26: Changes in the ecosystem. Changes occur all the time in an ecosystem. Trees die and new trees take their place. Young animals are born as the older](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649efa5503460f94c0cb5a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Repeated disturbances will prevent an area from returning to its climax community.

Invasive species is a nonnative organism that spread widely in a community.
![Page 32: Changes in the ecosystem. Changes occur all the time in an ecosystem. Trees die and new trees take their place. Young animals are born as the older](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649efa5503460f94c0cb5a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Invasive species are one type of community disturbance and a major problem in many parts of the world.
![Page 33: Changes in the ecosystem. Changes occur all the time in an ecosystem. Trees die and new trees take their place. Young animals are born as the older](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649efa5503460f94c0cb5a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Invasive species become a problem when there are no limiting factors such as predators, parasites, or competitors.
