Ecological Succession Model
We introduce in this paper a new interacting particle system intended to model an example of ecological succession involving two species: Pteridium aquilinum L. commonly called bracken and Fagus sylvatica L. or european beech. The species both compete over vacant sites, assimilated to windfall, according to fundamentally different evolutionary strategies. Our main objective is to exhibit phase ...
متن کاملEcological Succession: Out of the Ash
A new study of plants recolonising the land devasted when Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980 is providing important new insights into the interactions with herbivores that determine the pattern and outcome of ecological succession.
متن کاملEcological succession as an energy dispersal process
Ecological succession is described by the 2nd law of thermodynamics. According to the universal law of the maximal energy dispersal, an ecosystem evolves toward a stationary state in its surroundings by consuming free energy via diverse mechanisms. Species are the mechanisms that conduct energy down along gradients between repositories of energy which consist of populations at various thermodyn...
متن کاملFour opportunities for studies of ecological succession.
Lessons learned from the study of ecological succession have much to offer contemporary environmental problem solving but these lessons are being underutilized. As anthropogenic disturbances increase, succession is more relevant than ever. In this review, we suggest that succession is particularly suitable to address concerns about biodiversity loss, climate change, invasive species, and ecolog...

tivorous fishes), serious disruption of the previous community structure, and a rapid shift toward smaller-bodied zooplankton. The morphological changes seen in Bosmina are not peculiar to Frains Lake. The occurrence of longer mucro spines on late-glacial Bosmina or Eubosmina has been reported in sediment from Langsee, Austria (Frey 1955), Esthwaite Water, England (Goulden 1964), the Grosser Se...
