Question

When Mount St Helens erupted, the landscape was subjected to disturbances of a variety of magnitudes and intensities. Ecologists that studied succession in areas of the “blast zone” observed that competition did not appear to be common or important in structuring recovering communities. Please design an experiment that would test this observation, including a hypothesis , the experimental treatments, possible results (please include prediction in the form of data tables or graphs), and how these results might be interpreted. PLEASE NOTE I AM NOT ASKING YOU TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN SUCCESSION MODELS HERE!

Explanation / Answer

By observing the Ecological Succession before and after The Eruption one can interpret the possible results so consider the Ecological Succession factors as given below and observations of these factors can determine the possible results.

The Ecological succession after any Landscape depends on the following factors :
