7.1 Succession Ecological succession is the directional change in the composition of species that occupy a given area through time: it involves initial colonization and establishment of pioneer plant species, followed by their replacement with other species until a relatively stable community is formed. Ecosystems are made up of all the interacting biotic (food availability, competition and predation)and abiotic (non-biological environment ? pH, temperature, rainfall and humidity)factors in a particular area within which there are a number of communities of organisms. Ecosystems constantly change, Succession is the term used to describe these changes, over time, in the species that occupy a particular area. A sere (seral stage) is the series of stages in succession.

System Length Mass Time SI (mks) Meter Kilogram Second SI(cgs) Centimeter Gram Second USCS (fps) Foot Slug Second Work and Energy System Force = Mass x Acceleration SI (mks) Newton Kg m/s^2 SI (cgs) Dyne Gram Cm/s^2 USCS (fps) Lb Slug Ft/s^2 *Work: force multiplied by the distance through which the force acts. The Newton *(N) The SI unit of force. 1 N = 0.225 lbs The Joule (J) Amount of work done by a force of one newton acting through a distance of one meter.
