Which takes longer
What is Primary Succession
This is the first species to colonize an area after a disturbance
What is a pioneer species?
This biome is known for very little precipitation and high average annual temperatures.
What is the desert?
Fungi such as mushrooms
What is biotic
Having more of this will make your biome more sustainable
What is biodiversity?
Forest Fire - primary or secondary?
What is Secondary
At this stage, the ecosystem is in a balanced state.
What is a climax community?
Dominated by evergreen trees, short growing season, the least biodiversity
What is the taiga?
Amount of sunlight received by the organisms

Oaks, maples, beeches, squirrels, deer, and bears are found in this biome.
What is temperate forest?
Plants, such as moss, grass, and trees
What is biotic
This is how biodiversity helps ensure healthy ecosystem.
Increased biodiversity increases sustainability
Which one comes from an ecosystem that has supported life before?
What is Secondary Succession
This is the process by which the species structure of an ecological community changes over time.
What is ecological succession?
Flora is dominated by mosses and lichens and is known to have permafrost beneath the soil due to the cold, harsh temperatures.
What is the tundra?
Bacteria and other unicellular organisms
What is biotic?
Habitat destruction causes this impact on the population of the species that lives there
What is decreases the population?
