Exercise 4
Why do primary forest succession at Glacier Bay and secondary forest succession in the southeastern United States occur at such different rates (compare figs. 20.2 and 20.4)?
Figure 20.2 Change in plant species richness during primary succession at Glacier Bay, Alaska (data from Reiners, Worley, and Lawrence 1971). Why do primary forest succession at Glacier Bay and secondary forest succession in the southeastern United States occur at such different rates (compare figs. 20.2 and 20.4)? Figure 20.2 Change in plant species richness during primary succession at Glacier Bay, Alaska (data from Reiners, Worley, and Lawrence 1971).    Figure 20.4 Change in woody plant species richness during secondary forest succession in eastern North America (data from Oosting 1942)
Figure 20.4 Change in woody plant species richness during secondary forest succession in eastern North America (data from Oosting 1942) Why do primary forest succession at Glacier Bay and secondary forest succession in the southeastern United States occur at such different rates (compare figs. 20.2 and 20.4)? Figure 20.2 Change in plant species richness during primary succession at Glacier Bay, Alaska (data from Reiners, Worley, and Lawrence 1971).
