Over a period of time, many habitats change with respect to the types of plants and animals that
live there. This change is known as succession
Succession occurs because plants and animals cause a change in the environment in which they
live. The first weeds and grasses that appear on a bare field, for example, change the environment by
shielding the soil from the direct sunlight. As these plants spread, the ground surface becomes cooler and
moisture, than it was originally. Thus, the environment at the ground surface has been changed. The new
surface conditions favor the sprouting of shrubs. As shrubs grow, they kill the grasses by preventing light
from reaching them and also build up the soil in the area, in addition, they attract animals that also
enhance the shrubs. They are not able to shade out oak and hickory seedlings, however, they have found
the forest floor suitable. These seedlings grow in to large trees that eventually shade out the pines.
