Succession - Marine Biome
One of the easiest ways to observe the effects of succession in the marine biome is through the coral reefs. Primary succession deals with the gradual growth of the plant life in an ecosystem over time where there was previously no vegetation or soil to support that life.
The process of ecological succession in a coral reef | Britannica
As in all natural environments, the life in a coral reef may change, and that change may follow a pattern: ecological succession. Succession may be observed by identifying the species in an environment, and by taking a census of them within a given area.
Marine Succession - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Marine succession refers to the process of landward retreat of active sea cliffs leading to the development of marine terraces and coral reef tracts due to erosion by ocean wave energy. AI generated definition based on: Treatise on Geomorphology (Second Edition), 2022
The Structure of Marine Communities Over Time: Colonization and Succession
In terrestrial ecology primary succession is the sequence of species that colonize a new substrate; secondary succession takes place on previously inhabited surfaces that have been cleared of biota by some disturbance. This seems typical of species of early succession.

(PDF) Primary and Secondary Succession Modelling in Marine …
Jan 1, 2019 · This paper discusses the ecological succession principle and shows interrelations of this concept with mane approaches of biodiversity analysis and general systems theory.
Changes in Diversity and Ecosystem Functioning During Succession …
Jan 1, 2009 · Explicit consideration of how changes in diversity and identity through succession affect ecosystem functioning is required if a full understanding of the role of biodiversity in highly disturbed environments such as marine hard substrata is to be gained.
Bacterial clustering amplifies the reshaping of eutrophic plumes …
Dec 11, 2024 · Introduction. In vast oligotrophic oceans, organic particles offer oases full of resources to marine bacteria. Multifaceted physical and biochemical interactions between the bacteria and particulate organic matter (POM) underpin the health and essential functions of oceanic ecosystems by modulating the cycles of carbon and inorganic elements (N, P, Fe, S), the marine primary production and ...
The speeding up of marine ecosystems - ScienceDirect
Dec 1, 2022 · Disturbances like ocean heat waves are becoming more frequent, resetting succession, and creating permanently young assemblages, while species additions are transporting the quick-growing and the fecund. The speeding up of marine ecosystems will necessitate changes in the ways we do science, attempt conservation, and …
