Autotrophic organisms - Organisms that are able to produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, using inorganic compounds such as sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to create organic matter for energy.
Food chains - A series of organisms in an ecosystem, each consuming the organism below it and being consumed by the organism above it. Food chains show the flow of energy and nutrients through an ecosystem.
Ecological succession - The gradual process by which an ecosystem changes and develops over time. This can occur after a disturbance, such as a fire or a flood, and involves a series of predictable changes in the composition of plant and animal species in the area.
