ELEMENTS OF FOREST DYNAMICS

Every forest is in a continuous state of change that alters the composition and structure of that forest.
Two basic elements of forest dynamics are: forest succession or Ecological Succession and forest disturbance.

Disturbance

Forest disturbance is an event that causes change in structure and composition of the forest such as fire, flood, wind, or earthquake or mortality caused by insect, disease outbreaks, Forest disturbance can also be human caused such as timber harvest.
