1 Strategy of Ecosystem Development
Ecological succession ( 演替、演遞、消長 )Autogenic successionAllogenic succession
Pioneer stageSere, seral stages, developmental stagesClimaxPrimary succession, secondary succession

Allogenic compared with autogenic influences
Gap phase succession, replacement and succession in a gap in a forest caused by a disturbance such as wind or disease.
Cyclic succession, succession caused by periodic, rhythmic disturbances in which the sequence of seral stages is repeated.
Perturbation dependent, is used to designate ecosystems that are especially adapted to recurrent disturbances by virtue of a makeup of quick recovery processes and species.
chap. 8 ecosystem development 14
Allogenic succession
Cultural eutrophication Lakes can and do progress to a more
oligotrophic condition when nutrient input from the watershed slows or ceases.An example is the recovery of Lake
Washington (Fig. 8-4)

Fig. 8-5. wave-generated succession in a balsam fir forest.
The trees reach their maximum height and density in the thin soils, they become vulnerable to strong winds that uproot and kill old trees, thereby starting a secondary succession
chap. 8 ecosystem development 17
Nutrient cycling output / input ( O / I ) cycling index ( CI ) = ratio of recycled inp
ut to output stored (S)BG = bare groundES = early stagesMS = middle stagesSS = steady state

Replacement of species
A more or less continuous replacement of species over time is characteristic of most successional seres.
An example of secondary succession is illustrated in Figure 8-7, which shows the sequence of plant communities and bird populations that develop on abandoned upland agricultural fields o the Piedmont of southeastern US.

Successive seral stagesAn annual weed stage (2-5years)A short-lived grass stage (5-10years)An early perennial grass stage (10-20years)A climax grass stage (reached in 20-40years)

Historical review
ecosystem development resulted from1. Modification of the physical environment by the com
munity acting as a whole
2. The interaction of competition and coexistence between component populations.
Three theories 1. Facilitation model
2. Inhibition model
3. Tolerance model
chap. 8 ecosystem development 27
Historical review
self-organization theory monoclimax concept (Clements, 1916)
The contrary concept– that ecological succession does not have an organizational strategy but results from the interactions of individuals and species as they struggle to occupy space.
Foresters find that forest succession is directional and predictable.
chap. 8 ecosystem development 28
Self-organization, synergetic, and ascendancy( 優勢 )
self-organizationSynergeticsAscendancy, for the tendency for self-orga
nizing, dissipative system to develop complexity of biomass and network flows over time, as is seen in the process of ecological succession.
chap. 8 ecosystem development 29
2 Concept of the Climax
P=R, climax communityMonoclimax vs. polyclimaxClimax
regional (climatic) climax local (edaphic) climax disclimax (disturbance climax) = anthropoge
nic subclimax
