FRQ: Ecology Question Ecological succession from a pioneer community to a climax community is an easy process to understand once you know each step. Ecological succession is the transition in the species composition of a biological community‚ often following ecological disturbance of the community. There are two types of ecological succession‚ primary and secondary. Primary succession is the establishment of a biological community in an area virtually barren of life‚ where there were originally

Topic 1: Ecosystems at Risk A. Ecosystems and Their Management 2. Vulnerability and Resilience of Ecosystems * Vunerability is the sensitivity of an ecosystem to cope with stress. * Resilience is the ability of an ecosystem (or a component of an ecosystem) to adapt to a changing environment and to restore function and structure following an episode of natural or human-induced stress. * All ecosystems function in a state of dynamic equilibrium or a continual state of balanced change

Its clear to see that succession planning and development of future leaders does not exist in isolation - it needs to reflect the company’s strategic objective and strategic goals. For any organization to implement an effective succession plan there are a number of key issues that need to be considered: • The succession planning program must have the support and backing of the company’s senior level management • Succession planning must be part of an integrated HR process that includes training

Aquatic ecosystem An estuary mouth and coastal waters‚ part of an aquatic ecosystem. An aquatic ecosystem is an ecosystem located in a body of water. Communities of organisms that are dependent on each other and on their environment live in aquatic ecosystems. The two main types of aquatic ecosystems are marine ecosystems and freshwater ecosystems. What is an aquatic ecosystem? Aquatic systems are those that contain plants and animals that predominantly depend on a significant amount of water

Ecosystems are environments where biotic (living) organisms and abiotic (non-living) components interact together to create a functional‚ complex network of nutrient and energy cycling. These balanced environments take time‚ sometimes many years‚ to develop. During the course of development‚ species are replaced by other species within the ecosystem‚ a process known as succession. Primary succession happens when species grow in locations where organisms have never previously existed. Secondary succession

Melodia Ferraris left properties in Cebu City consisting of 1/3 share in the estate of her aunt Rosa Ferraris. Ten years have elapsed since the last time she was known to be alive‚ she was declared presumptively dead for purposes of opening her succession and distribute her estate among heirs. Hence‚ a petition for the summary settlement of her estate was filed. Melodia left no surviving descendant‚ ascendant or spouse‚ but was survived only by collateral relatives: 1) an aunt and half-sister of

2013 Aquatic Ecosystem Function An ecosystem can be defined as “all the organisms in a given area as well as the abiotic factors with which they interact” (Reece et al. 2010). Common aquatic ecosystems range from the largest oceans to the smallest creeks‚ but each aquatic ecosystem plays a pivotal role in global ecology. Each ecosystem consists of important aspects including nutrients cycling‚ biodiversity‚ and energy flow that contribute to the overall state of the ecosystem. However‚ the limited

the functioning of TWO different ecosystems at risk.’ An ecosystem is the dynamic complex of plant‚ animal and micro-organism communities and their non-living environment as a functional unit. Ecosystems are systems through which incoming solar energy is captured and channelled through a hierarchy of life forms. Each ecosystem has its own characteristic plant and animal community. Nature of change refers to the natural or human induced change towards an ecosystem. Humans play a role in maintaining
