Ecology Study of distribution of organisms as well as the flow
of biotic and abiotic factors
-or-
Study of the relationship between organisms and the
environment
Succession Progressive change in the composition of a biotic
community following disturbance
, Primary succession Development of biotic communities where none
existed previously (on rocks or sand)
Secondary succession Type of succession that occurs when existing
community is disturbed or destroyed (soil remains)
Climax community Stable, long-lasting community, primarily determined
by "climate"
Pioneer stage The first stages of colonization (succession), followed
by the intermediate stage
Intermediate stage Stage of succession following the pioneer stage of
succession, and is followed by the climax
communities
Wildlife succession Type of succession that follows plant succession as
the environment changes
Facilitation Method through which modification of the
environment from early species paves the way for
later species
Tolerance Method in which modification by early colonizers
does little to facilitate later species
Inhibition Method in which the pioneer species makes the
environment less suitable for other species to inhabit
the area
Species richness Number of species in a plant community
Species evenness Relative abundance of species within a plant
community
Community Interaction of interacting species occupying a
defined area
