SKYPE Succession -
Chase was unable to attend in person, so we had class over Skype. In view of the current firestorms in Southern California, we explored what happens to an ecosystem after it has been burned away. The return of life to an empty space is called succession. There is a set order to succession, starting with pioneer species: bacteria and annual plants and followed by grasses, bushes, small trees, and finally the large trees. Chase was tasked with completing a succession lab. She was given data plots collected 5, 20, 50 and 100 years apart. She had to calculate how many of each species was included in each plot, and find the percentage of coverage for each species. She will do the hands-on part of the lab, when she is in class on Thursday. Homework: review chapter 6.
