<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't mind the term "early-successional," and
still find the concept useful after years of derision, but if a large group of
ecologists don't like it and/or don't use it, what might be used in its place
that would satisfy everybody without misleading others? </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>PS: Is it not to be expected that, after removal of
one type of vegetation that other species might not colonize the "opening?" Is
it not also to be expected that, as other, more slowly-developing species grow,
that the "early successional" colonizing species might decline? </FONT></DIV>
