While formulating his CSR life history model, Philip Grime defined these events as any process that reduces biomass. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name these catastrophic abiotic events, which include natural disasters such as earthquakes and fires, that drastically alter the biotic composition of an ecosystem.

[10e] According to Grime’s CSR model, plants well-suited to engage in this interaction thrive in low-disturbance, low-stress habitats. This interaction sees different organisms fight each other over resources.
ANSWER: competition [accept competitive plants]
[10h] In one hypothesis, this ecologist suggested that local biodiversity is highest in areas experiencing an intermediate amount of disturbances. This man worked with Ralph Slayter to develop the facilitation, tolerance, and inhibition models of ecological succession.
