1. Discuss the expected changes in biodiversity as the stages of succession
progress as shown in the diagram above.
2. Describe and explain three changes in abiotic conditions over time that lead
to the succession, as shown in the diagram.
3. For each of the disturbances found below this list, discuss the immediate and
long-term effects on ecosystem succession.
4. Identify two biotic and two abiotic factors and discuss how each could
influence the pattern of ecological succession.
5. Discuss the differences in plant diversity and explain how the changes affect
the animal species composition.
.
Disturbance #1: A volcano erupts, covering a 10 square kilometer portion of
a mature forest with lava.
• Disturbance #2: A 10 square kilometer portion of a mature forest is clear-
cut.
You may use a concept map, some other outline, or other presentation format. You
