 The successional studies in Sycamore Creek produced patterns of variation in diversity that differed significantly from those observed during primary succession at Glacier Bay or algal and barnacle succession in the intertidal zone. What may have been responsible for these different results? How might have differences in the longevity of species contributed to the different patterns observed by researchers? (Hint: Think about what we might observe in the other communities if they were studied for a longer period of time.)

Organisms living in these distinct habitats likely have different life histories and life spans, which would influence the amount of time required for succession to occur. If these other systems had been studied for a longer period of time, the researchers may have observed declines in diversity in the very late stages of succession like those observed in Sycamore Creek.
