Certain ecosystem characteristics often undergo predictable changes during succession. Early session can be found with lots of disturbance and late to session is seen at equilibrium without much disturbance at all. Consider this to community types of secondary succession: 1. In Oldfield that was abandoned six years ago 2. A 100 year old mixed pine hardwood forest In paragraph form predict which community you would expect to have the greatest diversity and also the lower standing biomass(dry weight of living material in a community; this is commonly expressed as weight per unit area), the greater stability and the slowest nutrient cycle rate. In each case explain your answer by defending your logic.
