自發演替
自力演替(英語:autogenic succession)是指由生態系內的生物因素驅動的演替,雖然自力演替的機制長期以來一直存在爭議,但人們很早就意識到了生物演替過程中起到的作用。[1][2][3]目前,學界主流的共識是促進、耐受和抑制機制都對自力演替有作用。[4]演替的概念通常與植被和森林群落相關,但它也適用於更廣泛的生態系。與此相反的概念是外力演替,它是指由生態系的非生物因子驅動的演替。[5]
作用機制
植物本身(生物組分)可以導致演替發生。
- 葉片捕捉日光
- 碎屑的產生
- 水分和養分吸收
- 固氮
- 人為氣候變遷
植群之變化,由生物本身之作用所產生者,稱為自力演替,而自力演替屬於初級演替,包括生態系中生物、土壤及微氣候之變遷。[6]
促進
- 改善場地因素,如增加有機質
抑制
- 阻礙物種或生長
