Changes in Succession1.As succession approaches a climax, which changes are likely to occur in an ecosystem?

GPP of ecosystem

NPP of ecosystem

Inorganic mineral storage

A increase increase increase

B decrease increase decrease

C increase decrease decrease

D increase decrease increase

Changes in Succession

2. Compared to pioneer communities, climax communities usually have…

A.A higher net productivityB.A higher gross productivityC.Inverted pyramids of biomassD.Shorter food chains

Demographic Stages

What is this difference called?

Natural Increase Rate (NIR)

What is the natural increase rate (NIR) @ this point?
