Succession…gradual replacement of plants
over time: annual weeds—perennial
weeds—shrubs—young pine forest—
mature oak/hickory
• Primary-high net productivity, simple food
chains, starts on barren rock (no soil
layer), pioneer species such as moss and
lichen
• Secondary-high productivity, complicated
food chain, high decomposition, abundant
niches, large plant size
