  2. Succession planting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succession_planting

    Succession planting is often used in organic farming. Multiple cropping describes essentially the same general method. A catch crop refers to a specific type of succession planting, where a fast-growing crop is grown simultaneously with, or between successive plantings of, a main crop. Succession planting has been touted as a way to minimize ...

  3. Ecological succession - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_succession

    Ecological succession was formerly seen as an orderly progression through distinct stages, where several plant communities would replace each other in a fixed order and eventually reach a stable end point known as the climax. The climax community was sometimes referred to as the 'potential vegetation' of a site, and thought to be primarily ...

  4. Seral community - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seral_community

    A seral community is the name given to each group of plants within the succession. A primary succession describes those plant communities that occupy a site that has not previously been vegetated. These can also be described as the pioneer community. Computer modeling is sometimes used to evaluate likely succession stages in a seral community. [2]

  5. Climax species - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climax_species

    An image of ecological succession, starting with pioneer species and ending with an old-growth forest that is dominated by climax species, which is denoted by VIII. Climax species, also called late seral , late-successional , K-selected or equilibrium species, are plant species that can germinate and grow with limited resources; e.g., they need ...

  6. Old field (ecology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_field_(ecology)

    Many studies have been conducted on old field succession, the process by which fields slowly grow back into forests over many years. While there are two types of succession, primary and secondary, secondary succession is what we think about when considering old fields. These processes may be cyclic or seral depending on the system dynamics and ...

  7. French intensive gardening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_intensive_gardening

    Companion planting in French intensive gardening maximizes the amount of space in the bed used for planting, leaving little if any unused space and has three different forms, intercropping, trap-cropping, and companion planting. Each of the three forms involve growing two or more plants in close proximity so that they improve the growth of each ...

    When to Transplant Seedlings Outdoors. Timing your indoor planting schedule to perfection is the first step. But seeds started indoors will eventually need to be transplanted outside into your garden.

  9. Secondary succession - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_succession

    Secondary succession is the secondary ecological succession of a plant's life. As opposed to the first, primary succession, secondary succession is a process started by an event (e.g. forest fire, harvesting, hurricane, etc.) that reduces an already established ecosystem (e.g. a forest or a wheat field) to a smaller population of species, and as such secondary succession occurs on preexisting ...
