Succession, etc...
Please define ecological succession!
the process by which the mix of species and habitat in an area changes over time.
Let's compare primary succession and secondary succession...
Primary succession refers to the first species that move into a disturbed/destroyed area that lacks soil.
Secondary succession refers to the "next wave" of organisms that come in, when things like soil already exist.
What do we call the species that are part of primary succession? What are some examples?
Pioneer species! Things like mosses, lichens, bacteria.
Please name and describe the kinds of variables we use in science experiments!
Independent -- the factor the scientist changes
Dependent -- the factor that you measure, which depends on the independent. This is your DATA!
Controls -- Factors you want to keep consistent throughout your experiment.
