Introduction
Many plant
communities are not self-sustaining. A field in the temperate deciduous forest biome will remain a field only as long as it is grazed by
animals or mowed regularly. If these factors are eliminated, the balance tips
in favor of other species. The newcomers will, in turn, establish conditions
that no longer favor them but promote the growth of still other species. The
revered naturalist and writer, henry david thoreau, called this process
succession.
