It is succeeded, however, by a distinct shrub biocies that differs from the deciduous forest-edge community. The shrub bi- ocies is replaced by coniferoits forest biociafions. SUMMARY Ponds differ from lakes in that they are generally small and shallow, and, when mature, have rooted vegetation over most of the bottom. Bogs are limited to northern regions, contain a northern type of vegetation, and are generally acid and deficient in oxygen. As the climate of northern regions slowly warms, stages in the bog plant sere are replaced by corresponding stages in the pond plant sere. The pond sere consists of six or more plant stages but only three animal stages : pond-marsh biocies, decidu- ous forest-edge biocies, and deciduous forest biocia- tion. These animal communities correspond with the types of vegetation in the plant sere, but not with the plant communities identified by taxonomic composi- tion of the plant dominants. The animal community in bogs is an impoverished facies of the pond-marsh biocies. The pond-marsh biocies contains plankton, ben- 94 Habitats, communities, succession.
