Welcome Back!! I hope everyone had a relaxing and wonderful 3 day weekened:-) Take a few minutes this morning to research the following questions:
1.) How long does it take for an ecosystem to recover after a natural disaster?
2.) What is succession and which type would take place after a natural disaster?

ReplyDelete1. The recovery times differ from each natural disaster to another it may take a week or a few years.
ReplyDelete2. It is the act or order of following in order. Secondary succession would take place.
1) The normal recovery time is from 10-42 years but not more than 56 years.
ReplyDelete2) Succession is when the habitat fixes itself and new animals move in after an incident or something changes in the ecosystem. Secondary succession would take place after a natural disaster because the landscape was not affected by new change like a new dune, it was damaged and now has to rebuild itself.
1. I think it depends on how severe the damage of the disaster is. If the disaster is a tornado, then the damage will be done in a much smaller area than it would for a hurricane. For example hurricane Katrina victims (humans and nature) are still feeling the effects of the hurricane. Each natural disaster has a certain amount of damage that will be done and it is hard to determine how long it will take to recover.
ReplyDelete2. Succession is the change in an community over time. After a natural disaster, secondary succession would happen to return life to normal in the area.

ReplyDelete1. The recovery time differs with each different natural disaster. It can take days to years. For example, Mt. St Helens took a long timeto recover from.
ReplyDelete2. Succession is the restoration of an ecosystem after destruction. The type of succession is secondary.
If a major natural disaster occurs, then the environment is likely recover in a series of stages. It depends on the characteristics of the disaster, and the location it is in. If it is not an extremely terrible disaster, natural recovery can resurrect the ecosystem.
ReplyDeleteSuccession is the process of change in an ecological population. Secondary succession would take place after natural disaster because there already is soil and life in place. Secondary succession is usually more successful and creates greater growth.

ReplyDelete1. It can take anywhere from a few years with tons of help to centuries or millenniums, to possibly never recovering.
ReplyDelete2. Succession: the gradual And orderly process of change In an ecosystem Brought about by the Progressive replacement of one community by another until a stable climax is established.
Secondary succession Is the series of community changes which take place on a previously colonized, but disturbed or damaged site.
Recovering from natural disasters can be an unpredictable process. It can take anywhere from a few months to many years and the environment may never fully recover at all. Succession is when competing organisms such as plants respond to a natural disaster through refrowth which sprouts the beginning of a recovering ecosystem. Plants are the basis of the food chain and are therefore extremely important for a recovering ecosystem. Secondary succession would occur after a natural disaster because an ecosystem would have already existed if an environment was recovering.
ReplyDeleteSome disasters, such as a fire, can take a few years to recover from, and some disasters, like Mt. St. Helena erupting would take many years to completely recover from. It depends mainly of the severity of the disaster, and how large an area it affected. Usually, it can take anywhere from a couple months to many years. Succession is The replacement of one community by another until a climax community is set. Secondary succession would occur because it is when communities of animals already inhabited an area, but the area was damaged previously.
ReplyDelete1. It depends on the disaster and the circumstances of the event. There are important differences of habitats and disturbances that could vary the recovery time.
ReplyDelete2. Ecological succession is the observed process of change in species structure over time. Secondary succession occurs after a natural disaster.
1. It ultimately depends on the type of the natural disaster. If it is something like an earthquake or volcano, it could take a while to recover. If the disaster is small and not very destructive, then the impact and recovery will not take much time.
ReplyDelete2. Succession is the process in which an ecosystem changes and grows, replacing former communities. There are two types of succession: primary and secondary. Primary succession takes place after a natural disaster that leaves next to nothing behind. Secondary succession takes place after a manmade disaster.
1) If a natural disaster such as a flood or fire occurs, the ecosystem can recover in a series of stages. It depends on the type of disaster and the area in which it takes place. In a disaster such as a fire, the seeds from trees and other plants fall to the ground and after the fire is estiguished, the seeds eventually start to grow. Before you know it the trees will be just as large as you remember, and the wildlife will soon re-inhabit the area.
ReplyDelete2) in an ecosystem, succession is the orderly and gradual process of change in an ecosystem brought about by the progressive replacement Of one community to another until a stab climax is reached. It means to have the ecosystem gradually redeem itself on it's own in a certain amount of time.
1. The time it takes for an ecosystem to receive from a natural disaster all depends on how bad the disaster was and where it took place. If you were talking about hurricane Katrina it would tke years to recover, but if you are talking about something small such as a storm that blew a tree on arouse it's not such big deal.
ReplyDelete2. Succession is the act of process of following in order or sequence. The type of succession could be either primary or secondary succession.
There isn't a stationary amount of time that it takes for all ecosystems to recover after these disasters because all ecosystems are different. For the oil spill it could be a while but the Chernobyl incident is already showing signs of recovery. Succesion is when an environment is destroid and then is recovers.
ReplyDeleteIt takes about 15-20 years for a tree to mature so I would think that it would take an ecosystem to recover from 50-75 years because it depends on the natural disAster that occurs. If there was a tsunami then it may take longer for the soil to because fresh and ready to plant. If it was a a wildfire, then it may also take longer because because of the soil as well. Whether the soil is burned or if the soil is drowned, the soil is usable right away.
ReplyDeleteSuccession after a natural disaster would be considered a primary succession because if there was a natural disaster, then that means it is the first, or primary, recovery of that land. Primary succession is when a pioneer species comes to that barren land and makes a whole new population then a community and then an ecosystem.
Natural disasters can take a variety of lengths to recover, from a few to thousands of years. It all depends on variables like how distructive it was, how is helping to restore it, etc. Succession occurs when something has left the land barren and now new life is coming back. The type of succession that happens after a natural disaster is primary succession. Pioneer species start growing first, followed gradually by more and more life and growth. A good example is Chernobyl, how the plants and animals started to return after the reactor blew up.
ReplyDeleteA Yale study confirmed that natural disasters recover much faster than human impacted disasters. A normal-sized forest takes less than 42 years to restore it's original state, while the ocean floor can heal in about a decade, of not less. Also, accidents in mining take approximately 5 years to recover. In the variety category, an average of 56 years to reshape it's environment were recorded. All in all, natural disasters can solve itself in less than a lifetime in most cases.
ReplyDeleteSuccession is the process of Events in chronological order. In ecological succession, what would occur after a natural disaster, Is the process of "change of the species structure in an ecological community over time." For example, some species may become abundant and others may become endangered. Some may invade from nearby ecosystems. To sum ecological succession up, it is survival of the fittest.
1. I think it depends on how severe the disaster was and how much land it destroyed. It can take anywhere from maybe a few weeks at most, to a few years.
ReplyDelete2. Succession is the act of following in sequence or order. An ecological succession world occur after a natural disaster, which is change in the composition of species in the landscape over a period of time.
To answer the first question, it would depend on the type of the natural disaster. It varies based on the strength and the magnitude of the disaster. It also depends on where the natural disaster strikes. Certain areas may take less type to recover and some may take longer. It all depends on the circumstances.
ReplyDeleteTo answer the second question, succession is the gradual and orderly process in an ecosystem, when their is a placement of one community with another. Secondary succession is mostly like the succession that is preceded by a natural disaster. It is where all the plants and vegetation are destroyed. It typically occurs after a flood, tsunami, or a forest fire. Primary succession can also follow a natural disaster, involving a volcano eruption. Primary succession is when an area is barren and plant life starts to grow. It is basically the birth of a new ecosystem.

1. It depends on the type of natural disaster, and how strong it is. Usually natural disasters that happen help the environment and ecosystems because they are a natural event, that is supposed to happen.
ReplyDelete2. Ecological succession is the change or the process of change over time in an ecosystem, and after a natural disaster the ecosystem would start building itself up again, but in a different way, so it would be changed. Ecological succession means that a pond or lake would become grassy, maybe even a grassland.
I would imagine that it would take many years for an ecosystem to recover from a natural disaster, but if it was natural ecosystems may sense something coming like a volcano eruption and some may survive such as gophers from Mount St Helens and eventually they will bring back flowers and life.
ReplyDeleteSuccession is the act or process of following in order or sequences. Secondary succession is a process started by an event this succession is used for forest fire, hurricanes, tornadoes, or another natural disaster.
Sorry, I'm talking about disasters, not natural disasters. I got away from the question.
ReplyDelete1)It all depends on the disaster like Mt. Saint Helens took forever to recover and still is, Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana is still recovering. It all depends on how big the disaster is and where it is.
ReplyDelete2) Succession means recovery so ecological succession means ecosystem recovery.
1. The time needed by an ecosystem to recover from a natural disaster depends on the disaster entirely depends on the disaster. For instance, the Mt. St. Helens eruption could take decades for the environment to fully recover. However, a smaller disaster would obviously take a smaller amount of time.
ReplyDelete2. Succession is the process of change in the environment. Secondary succession is what would occur after a natural disaster.
Depending on the scale of the disaster, about 10 years for a full fledged catastrophe, like a flood and hurricane. Earthquakes only take a couple days.
ReplyDeleteSecondary succession would take place after a natural disaster.
1. It depends on the scale and type of a disaster.
ReplyDelete2. Succesion is the claim or recovery of an area by nature. After a disaster, secondary succesion occurs.
Sorry-forgot to say succession is the event of a species moving into a barren environment.
ReplyDelete1. The recovery time of the ecosystem depends on the disaster. A hurricane, the ecosystem may need a few days. A tsunami would be a few months to a year. A supervolcanic eruption, 6-10 years.
ReplyDelete2. A succession in ecology, is when changes are made to a habitat that forms a new habitat. Secondary succession is the succession that occurs after these natural disasters. We don't here about primary disasters.
It can take from a week to years. It takes place after a natural disaster.
ReplyDeleteThe time an ecosystem takes to recover depends on how bad the disaster was, sometimes they take a year, sometimes theybtake a hundred years.
ReplyDeleteA succession is what takes place after or during a change in the land, and a secondary succession would take place because the area wouldn't have changed much, just a little bit.
1. Really, it's impossible to say. Recoverey time is based on the type of disaster, the magnitude or severity, and the area that it hits.
ReplyDelete2. Succession is the environmental process where an ecosystem restores itself naturally. Secondary succession would occur after a natural disaster.
1. The time it takes an ecosystem to recover from a natural disaster all depends on its location, severity and what the disaster is.
ReplyDelete2. Succession is a change of composition in an ecological community. Secondary succession would take place after a natural disaster.
Honestly, They can range from a week of drying out from a flood, or it can take a miillineum in the event of a volcanic explosion that burns out all area. Honestly, I feel the good time for tornadoes and hurricanes is about 5 years for the human population to be restored and for the ecosystem to fully recover. One example of this is Hurricane Charley, which was a miniature category 4 hurricane. That struck florida 2004. Although not hurting a lot of places, where it did strike were completely wrecked, and had $13 billion in damage. However, now the Punta Gorda area, one of the hardest hit areas, is now returned to its pre storm population after three years of decline, and 2 years of stability.
ReplyDelete1: It depends on what the natural disaster was. Comparing a small earthquake to Hurricane Katrina, or even Mt. St. Helens. The smaller disasters may have a small recovery period in which trees will grow again and wildlife will come back. But, if this will hit a much bigger scale, it could cause a long recovery period. Mt St. Helens demolished everything near it, taking down tress, plants, and species. This is going to take time to recover.
ReplyDelete2: Succession is the process of regrowth of nature, such as a burned down forest. After a natural disaster, secondary succession will occur. Not just for a specific natural disaster, but any of them. Every single type of disaster will cause secondary succession.
1. Depending on the disaster, an ecosystem can recover from a natural disaster within months to within years. For instance, a small flood can be overcome within months, but a forest fire or a volcanic eruption could take years to recover from.
ReplyDelete2. Succession is the gradual change of an environment in stages. After a natural disaster, secondary succession would take place. Secondary succession is the recovery of an environment that was already in place before something wiped part of it out. Primary succession is different from this because primary succession is when a previously barren area grows life. Primary succession is not how an environment would recover from a natural disaster.
1) The time it takes For an ecosystem to recover depends on how bad the natural disaster was. It could take weeks or many years. If it is a smaller disaster that would take less time then a huge natural disaster.
ReplyDelete2). Succession is the process of natural habitats rebuilding themselves. There is primary succession when there is no soil, and there is secondary succession when the soil is already there. Secondary succession would take place after a natural disaster.
1. An ecosystem can take from a few months to decades to recover. Most of the time the ecosystem doesn't recover fully.
ReplyDelete2. Is the process in which an ecosystem can revitalize itself and then produce more life and resources.
1) I read that the full recovery of an ecosystem is unknown. But no doubt that the ecosystem will not recover overnight.
ReplyDelete2) Succesion is an order things go in. Ecological succession would take place after a natural disaster.
I think it really has to depend on what level the disaster is on. Something like a very large and lasting hurricane can take quite a while for the ecosystem to recover. On the other hand something like a very small flood or a small tornado obviously won't do as much damage to the environment.
ReplyDeleteSuccession is either a recovery of nature after a disaster, or when nature moves into barren land. For this example, this would be secondary succession
1. That's a very broad question. It depends on the strength of the disaster, what type of disaster it is, and how long it takes to clean it up. If it's a nuclear disaster like Chernobyl, then it may take hundreds or even thousands of years for an ecosystem to recover. Nuclear energy can be too powerful, thus wiping out an entire ecosystem. Pripyat seems to be recovering nicely from the disaster (as seen in the documentary) but there's still pollution everywhere- in the air, in the water, in the plants, soil, left over food in humans' houses... the list could go on for a while. It also depends on what kind of ecosystem the disaster strikes. If it's an oil spill in the ocean, then a lot of the oil that sinks underwater won't be cleaned up and it will just linger down there forever. If it's a hurricane, the recovery will only take a few years- depending on strength- because there are (usually) no harmful chemicals- thus why it's a "natural" disaster. Tornadoes also have a short recovery time- most natural disasters do. Wildfires and eruption are a bit different, however. Both can burn down objects and spread heat and fire, which eventually could knock out a whole ecosystem if it were powerful enough.
ReplyDelete2. Succession is a term referring to the changes of an ecological structure. Primary succession occurs on an untouched land form such as a rock, while secondary occurs on a land form that has been hit by a disaster. As stated before secondary succession would take place after a disaster, no matter what kind of disaster.
Natural disasters vary from disaster to disaster and it depends on what happened, the crime scene, and hoe well nature can cope with it. It can take any where from years to months.
ReplyDeleteSuccessions in this case would refer to those after a disaster. There are two successions: primary and secondary succession (such creative names these scientists come up with). Primary succession is the gradual restoration Over a longer period of time that causes a slight change in Flora and fauna diversity that affects nearby communities. Secondary succession is when a natural disaster Starts the change that reduces an established ecosystem anode usually starts with pre-existing soil whereas primary starts lacking soil. This occurs when the first successions has been brought to a halt and some animals and plants still exist.
1 If it was a major disaster like a large volcanic eruption it could take years for the effected environment to fully recover. If it was something small like a flood it would take a few months at most.
ReplyDelete2 Succession is basically the recovery process that occurs after change in the environment. After a major disaster secondary succession would happen.
1. The time need for an ecosystem to recover could be a few decades, depending on our efforts to clean it up.
ReplyDelete1. Succession is when the ecosystem has recovered. After a natural disaster, cleanup efforts should take places.
1. It all depends on the disaster it is recovering from. If it is a from a volcano, it doesn't have to take very long for the area effected to recover, depending on how large the eruption was. Volcanic ash is very good for growing plants, and where their are plants, their are animals, so recover is not as hard as you would think, even if it does take a long time. other disasters take longer to recover from.
ReplyDelete2. Succession refers to natural changes in the environment, like after a forest fire(which is secondary succession).

ReplyDelete1.) How long does it take for an ecosystem to recover after a natural disaster?
ReplyDeleteEach natural disaster is unique and effects the environment in different ways and to varying magnitudes. It would be foolish to say that an ecosystem that was hit by a minor earthquake will take the same time to recover as a major tsunami. The Earthquake would take much less time then the tsunami. In addition, there are many types of ecosystems that would heal to different lengths of time, even if the natural disaster was the same in magnitude and type. Many timings can vary from months, to centuries.
2.) What is succession and which type would take place after a natural disaster?
Succesion is the recovery after changes in the ecological structure of an environment. The type of succession that would occur after a natural disaster would be primary. Primary is when something belonging to nature affects the area, compared to secondary when the area is disturbed by humans or other animals.
1. Ecosystems can recover rather quickly when faced with a natural disaster, as opposed to radioactive accidents or oil spills. A good example is the region of Mount St. Helens. The disaster was deadly to many animals in that area, but the population has rebounded exponentially.
ReplyDelete2. Succession is the predictable change in the animals in a certain ecosystem. Primary succession would probably occur, because that is what happens after a new are is exposed by nature.
Succesion Is where animals who can not live in a certain area move or die out, and they are replaced by a better fit who are more adaptable to that changed environment. This would be secondary succession after the first succession overe pioneer species.
ReplyDelete1) The time it takes an ecosystem to recover from a natural disaster depends on the severity and the area it covered. For example, a forest fire that covered an area of one acre takes less time to recover than a Category 5 hurricane that came 2 miles inland.
ReplyDelete2) Succession in nature is when an environment rebuilds itself over itself. After a natural disaster, secondary succession will occur.
Sorry, this is a continuation of my comment for part two of question two. I think secondary succession will result in secondary succession because there rare already materials around to rebuild an ecosystem.
ReplyDelete2) Succession in nature is when an environment rebuilds itself over a ecosystem. After a natural disaster, secondary succession will occur.
ReplyDeleteI accidentally said primary in my comment. I meant to say secondary, sorry.
ReplyDeleteThe recovery time of an ecosystem after a natural disaster could take anywhere from a couple of months for a small disaster, to hundreds of years for a large one.
ReplyDeleteEcological secondary succession is when the environment builds itself for a second time after a natural disaster.
