1 1/11/2016 Quizlet 5 Written questions 1. the orderly process of change in an ecosystem brought about by the replacement of one community by another untii a stable climax is established 2. A stable, mature environment that undergoes little or no change in species over time 3. Creates soil in primary succession (lichen/moss) first species to appear. 4. A species that initially come to an uninhabited area and that starts an ecological cycle by making soil in which many other species become established. 5. A mass of fungal and algal cells that grow together in a symbiotic relationship and that are usually found on rocks or trees and starts the soil making process 4 Matching questions 1. moss First species to come to an area during succession primary succession pioneer species change in an ecosystem over time organisms die out, new species take over 4. succession Succession that occurs on surfaces where no soil exists. 2nd oldest group to diverge from the land plant order. Like liverworts, they are relatively small and lack leaves 5 Multiple choice questions 1. succession that can take hundreds or even thousands of years to develop into a climax community a. pioneer species b. secondary succession c. succession d. primary succession 1/3

A symbiosis of alga and fungus that frequently acts as a pioneer species on bare rock a. moss b. climax community c. succession d. lichen 4. Succession that takes place in an area that already has soil (ex. after a wildfire or hurricane) a. secondary succession b. succession c. pioneer species d. primary succession 5. Creating a new an ecosystem from barren rock a. primary succession b. climax community c. secondary succession d. succession 5 / questions 1. secondary succession Succession following a disturbance that destroys a community without destroying the soil 2. succession the gradual change from one community of organisms to another 3. secondary succession Succession on a site where an existing community has been disrupted. 4. climax community - An ecological ecosystem in which populations of plants or animals remain stable and exist in balance with each other and their environment 2/3
