Succession in Plant Communities

Below is a link to a website created by Dr. Raymond Russo of the Department of Biology at Indiana University – Purdue – University Indianapolis. The webpage has a brief explanation of succession in plant communities. It details the terms used when discussing succession, discusses the models biologists use when studying succession, and lists some of the schools of thought regarding the climax community. Read through this short webpage to learn how the simple ideas of succession of bacteria in whole milk can be applied to plant communities. http://www.biology.iupui.edu/biocourses/K341/succession.html
