Description: In this video we set up a new project. We take a look at aquatic ecological succession, by leaving a body of water outside for 2.5 months. Aquatic succession is the process by which an empty body of water slowly turns into a biodiverse ecosystem. Through the process of succession that ecosystem constantly changes, and eventually the pond turns into a swamp and later even a forest. We also take a look at the microbial community that has formed in this short period under the new microscope, with phase contrast and dark field. Enjoy!
