Match the description with the correct term.
Question 60 options:
 pioneer community
 
 seral stage
 
 "controlled
forest burns"
 
 succession
 
 secondary succession
 
  fireweed
 
 primary succession
 
 climax community
 
  1. sequence of invasion and replacement of plants and animals in an ecosystem
 
2. first species to initiate primary succession (eg. lichens and mosses)
 
3. succession initiated in areas with no soil; bare rock on a recentily formed volcanic island in the ocean
 
4. different "stages of succession" with distinct populations of species
 
5. a theoretical final seral stage of succession that remains relatively stable if there are no environmental disturbances
 
6. recolonization of an area after an ecological disturbance such as fire, flooding, tornado, cyclone, or agricultural activity
 
7. a plant species with purple flowers, an early plant to colonize fire disturbed areas throughout Canada
 
8. increases deer habitat resulting in increased populations; allows Fish and Wildlife officials to sell more hunting licenses
