Reaction Paper on Ecological Sucession
Ecological succession

“Change is the only thing that is constant” - Heraclitus.
This is one of the few things that I agree to be the most correct term and ever applicable in everyday life. Well aside from I need to eat of course and that this world is full of all kinds of things, from small to big, to living to nonliving. Seemingly that here, everything is interconnected, in a way that everyone needs everything to survive. More of a give and take relationship. I thing that is what ecology is all about, to live in harmony with others despite natures will and challenges.
First law of ecology states that “everything is always changing” ( barry commoner), but there can never be a change without a force acting on it. Example is the candy. It shape changes inside our mouth because of the pressure that is given by out tongue and the acids inside our mouth, it will soften then melted, then digested. Well that is just an ordinary example to be stated. But it still undergoes change so it can be termed as succession because it undergoes in a certain procedure. Just like what happened in our world for biodiversity to be created.
Disturbances – this can be inferred to be the world’s pioneer in changing its form and biodiversity. As said in the video, possibly a big big big asteroid hit the planet, wipe out its living thing creating nothing but complete desolation. But, there are also disturbances that are small but is ever necessary in the formation of an ecosystem. In my own understanding of the word disturbance, it is action that has an effect on its surroundings. As said in the video, a falling tree can be considered a disturbance. Why? Because of the fallen tree, more nutrients will available for the trees and plants around it. Mosses and fungi will have something to grow on. Worms, germs and bacterias will have something to sink its teeth on to decay. Disturbances are ever essential for everyone to survive.
Remember the example stated in the
