What does ECESIS mean in Scrabble?
noun
botanytechnical
The successful establishment of a plant or animal in a new habitat.
Ecesis is a term used in ecology for the stage after a seed, spore or animal arrives somewhere new and actually manages to grow or survive there, rather than simply landing and dying out. Botanists studying how bare ground is colonised, such as after a fire or a landslide, track ecesis as one step in a longer process that also includes dispersal and competition with other species. The word comes from Greek roots meaning to inhabit a house, reflecting the idea of a species making a place its own. Ecesis can fail even when seeds arrive in large numbers, if the soil, light or climate do not suit the new arrival.
