The influence of the rates of plant colonization and soil formation are responsible for the decrease of the successional rates from footslopes, to summits, to slopes. The vegetation successionally changes from Juniperus scrub, to Juniperus wood and forest, and there is little species replacement since the similarity in species composition is high between the 3 domes.engJuniperusSucessão PrimáriaTerceiraGeocronologiaBio-areaDirect SuccessionOceanic IslandSoil NutrientSuccession RateVegetation StructureZoom Effectjournal article2014-05-2210.1111/j.1654-1103.2004.tb02269.x
