The Synthesis of "ecological succession"

Discover climax communities, the final, stable stage of ecological succession where an ecosystem reaches equilibrium with its environment.

Discover the hardy organisms that first colonize barren landscapes, kicking off the process of creating a vibrant and diverse ecosystem.

Ecology is the study of how organisms interact with each other and their environment. Explore ecosystems, biodiversity, and our place in nature.

An explanation of an organism's unique role, or niche, within its ecosystem and why this concept is vital for understanding biodiversity.

Discover what an ecosystem is, from tiny ponds to vast forests, and learn how these complex networks of life support our planet and human well-being.

Explore the food web, the intricate network of interconnected food chains that shows how energy flows through an ecosystem. Learn its vital importance.

Discover the position organisms occupy in the food web, how energy flows through ecosystems, and why it's crucial for environmental balance.

Discover the food chain, the natural flow of energy in an ecosystem from producers to consumers. Learn why this fundamental concept is so vital.

Explore competition, the biological struggle for resources that drives evolution and shapes ecosystems. Learn why this concept is fundamental to life.

The core mechanism of evolution where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce, passing on their successful traits.
