What is the name given to the predictable change in a vegetation community over time.

is the gradual change in the types of species that live in a community. This can include primary and secondary situations.

Write the scientific term: 1. The series of predictable changes that occur in a community. (.......................) 2. The series of changes that occur in an area where no soil or organisms exist. (.......................) 3. The first species to populate an area. (.......................) 4. Fungi and algae are growing in a symbiotic relationship. (.......................) 5. The end point of succession and it takes centuries to be mature. (.......................) 6. The series of changes that occur when a climax community or intermediate community is impacted by a disturbance (.......................) Complete the following: 1) ....................... is an example of a secondary succession. 2) ....................., and ....................... are examples of pioneer species. Choose the correct answer: 1. The mature community can last for thousands of years or more if it is not disturbed or disrupted. a.True b. False 2. Secondary succession occurs slower than primary succession. a.True b. False 3. Niche is the ability of an organism or ecosystem to adapt after a disturbance. a.True b. False

The idea that entire populations of species change over time to become better adapted to their environment is called .

A gradual change in the species composition of a community over time is termedMultiple choice question.succession.species richness.species evenness.commensalism.

A change occurs in an environment that lasts for several thousand years and causes changes to the genetic makeup of several species. What can be known about this change? It is short-term. It is long-term. It involves an El Niño storm. It involves a La Niña storm.
