Stratification


In the past two lessons we have been continuing  to look at patterns in ecosystems. In yesterday's lesson we looked at Stratification.

Stratification  is where we get layers in a forest- e.g. the ground, mid canopy, upper canopy etc. The layers have their own environmental conditions (biotic and abiotic factors) and this means that habitats will vary.

Of course, if trees fall, then we can get succession taking place also.

Today we completed questions in the biozone book, before we moved onto looking at mesophytes and xerophytes. This will be a focus next lesson too.
