1) Ecological succession is the process by which the species in a community change over time following a disturbance.
2) Primary succession occurs in areas without previous communities, like after volcanic eruptions, while secondary succession follows less severe disturbances where soil remains.
3) Early pioneer species like lichens and grasses establish first, gradually changing the environment and allowing more species to colonize over time.
El ecosistema es el conjunto de las poblaciones de vegetales, animales y microbios relacionados
entre ellos y con el medio, de modo que el agrupamiento pueda perpetuarse. Un ecosistema es
un sistema abierto donde hay una continua corriente de captación y pérdida de sustancias,
energía y organismos.

The main causes of ecological succession include the biotic and climatic factors that can destroy the populations of an area. Wind, fire, soil erosion and natural disasters include the climatic factors. Ecological succession is important for the growth and development of an ecosystem. It initiates colonization of new areas and recolonization of the areas that had been destroyed due to certain biotic and climatic factors. Thus, the organisms can adapt to the changes and learn to survive in a changing environment.

3. Succession from Disturbed Vegetation
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Succession
THINK ABOUT IT
In 1883, the volcanic island of Krakatau in the Indian Ocean was blown
to pieces by an eruption. The tiny island that remained was completely
barren.
Within two years, grasses were growing. Fourteen years later, there
were 49 plant species, along with lizards, birds, bats, and insects. By
1929, a forest containing 300 plant species had grown. Today, the
island is blanketed by mature rain forest.
How did the island ecosystem recover so quickly?
4. Lesson Overview
Succession
Primary and Secondary Succession
How do communities change over time?
Ecosystems change over time, especially after disturbances, as some
species die out and new species move in.
5. Lesson Overview
Succession
Primary and Secondary Succession
Ecological succession is a series of more-or-less predictable changes that
occur in a community over time.
Ecosystems change over time, especially after disturbances, as some
species die out and new species move in.
Over the course of succession, the number of different species present
typically increases.
6. Lesson Overview
Succession
Primary Succession
Volcanic explosions can create new land or sterilize existing areas.
Retreating glaciers can have the same effect, leaving only exposed bare
rock behind them.
Succession that begins in an area with no remnants of an older
community is called primary succession.
7. Lesson Overview
Succession
Primary Succession
For example, in Glacier Bay, Alaska, a retreating glacier exposed barren
rock.
Over the course of more than 100 years, a series of changes has led to
the hemlock and spruce forest currently found in the area.
Changes in this community will continue for centuries.
8. Lesson Overview
Succession
Primary Succession
The first species to colonize barren areas are called pioneer species.
One ecological pioneer that grows on bare rock is lichen—a mutualistic
symbiosis between a fungus and an alga.
9. Lesson Overview
Succession
Primary Succession
Over time, lichens convert, or fix, atmospheric nitrogen into useful forms
for other organisms, break down rock, and add organic material to form
soil.
Certain grasses, like those that colonized Krakatau early on, are also
pioneer species.
10. Lesson Overview
Succession
Secondary Succession
Sometimes, existing communities are not completely destroyed by
disturbances. In these situations, secondary succession occurs.
Secondary succession proceeds faster than primary succession, in part
because soil survives the disturbance. As a result, new and surviving
vegetation can regrow rapidly.
11. Lesson Overview
Succession
Secondary Succession
Secondary succession often follows a wildfire, hurricane, or other
natural disturbance.
We think of these events as disasters, but many species are adapted to
them. Although forest fires kill some trees, for example, other trees are
spared, and fire can stimulate their seeds to germinate.
Secondary succession can also follow human activities like logging and
farming.
12. Lesson Overview
Succession
Secondary Succession
This series shows secondary succession taking place in abandoned
fields of the Carolinas’ Piedmont.
Over the last century, these fields have passed through several stages
and matured into oak forests. Changes will continue for years to come.
13. Lesson Overview
Succession
Why Succession Occurs
Every organism changes the environment it lives in.
One model of succession suggests that as one species alters its
environment, other species find it easier to compete for resources and
survive.
For example, as lichens add organic matter and form soil, mosses and
other plants can colonize and grow.
As organic matter continues to accumulate, other species move in and
change the environment further.
Over time, more and more species can find suitable niches and survive.
15. Lesson Overview
Succession
Climax Communities
Do ecosystems return to “normal” following a disturbance?
Secondary succession in healthy ecosystems following natural
disturbances often reproduces the original climax community.
Ecosystems may or may not recover from extensive human-caused
disturbances.
16. Lesson Overview
Succession
Climax Communities
Ecologists used to think that succession in a given area always proceeds
through the same stages to produce a specific and stable climax
community.
Recent studies, however, have shown that succession doesn’t always
follow the same path, and that climax communities are not always uniform
and stable.
17. Lesson Overview
Succession
Succession After Natural Disturbances
Secondary succession in healthy ecosystems following natural
disturbances often reproduces the original climax community.
Healthy coral reefs and tropical rain forests often recover from
storms, and healthy temperate forests and grasslands recover
from wildfires.
18. Lesson Overview
Succession
Succession After Natural Disturbances
However, detailed studies show that some climax communities are not
uniform.
Often, they have areas in varying stages of secondary succession
following multiple disturbances that took place at different times.
Some climax communities are disturbed so often that they can’t really
be called stable.
19. Lesson Overview
Succession
Succession After Human-Caused
Disturbances
Ecosystems may or may not recover from extensive human-caused
disturbances.
Clearing and farming of tropical rain forests, for example, can change
the microclimate and soil enough to prevent regrowth of the original
community.
20. Lesson Overview
Succession
Studying Patterns of Succession
Ecologists study succession by comparing different cases and
looking for similarities and differences.
Researchers who swarmed over Mount Saint Helens after it erupted
in 1980 might also have studied Krakatau, for example.
21. Lesson Overview
Succession
Studying Patterns of Succession
On both Mount Saint Helens and Krakatau, primary succession
proceeded through predictable stages.
The first plants and animals that arrived had seeds, spores, or adult
stages that traveled over long distances.
Hardy pioneer species helped stabilize loose volcanic debris, enabling
later species to take hold.
Historical studies in Krakatau and ongoing studies on Mount Saint
Helens confirm that early stages of primary succession are slow, and
that chance can play a large role in determining which species colonize
at different times.
