After events like fires, floods, droughts, or even the creation of new land (glaciers retreating, magma spreading, etc.), life tries to creep in.
Think about a burned forest, is this habitat livable for most species?
Yet somehow, forests that have been destroyed by fire manage to recover. The ability to recover after severe disturbances is known as resilience.
The establishment of life in a new area (or a destroyed one) happens either through primary succession or secondary succession.
Go through this interactive to learn more about primary and secondary succession.
Make sure you do the interactive for both types of succession.

On a piece of paper, answer this question:
What were the strengths and limitations of the simulation (interactive) you did? (Remember, a simulation is a model.)
Come to class to get the Succession worksheet that you will fill out.
