Document Summary
Clements model: development of a community unil it reached the inal climax which is called the superorganism and each organism on the way facilitates that stage: single climax community, too simplisic: Interacions with other species and the environment mater. Polyclimax: there are several diferent end points depending on the condiions and interacions. Intermediate community types are also possible: not always predictable: There are chance events that can afect the sequence. Gleason model: very much individualisic and not predictable at all: most modern ecologists believe this, outcome is afected by. Egler: relay florisics: based on facilitaion; there is a progression of lora unil the inal state, iniial florisics: species are always present but overime they change in abundance (based on tolerance model)
