Ecological Recovery at Mount St. Helens

Description
Processes of succession occur in many diverse ecological systems, from ponds to rocky intertidal areas to the carcasses of animals

The transitions between the stages of succession eventually lead to a climax community

* Climax community = the community resulting from successful succession
  Remains stable until another disturbance restarts succession

- Eruption was an opportunity to study primary succession
- Patterns of plant growth varied in the different areas
- Showed that succession is not a simple and predictable process
