impoundment : a barrier build across a river or stream to form a reservoir

thermocline : a layer of water between epilimnion(warmer uppermost layer) and hypolimnion(colder non circulating bottom)

metalimnion :This is a zone between epilimnion and hypolimnion where thermal satisfaction is highest developing into a thermocline or gradient of rapid decrease in temperature.

3 zones formed due to light penetration : littoral, limnetic(open water source), aphotic (least light penetration)

3 layer of thermal stratification : epilimnion, metalimnion(temp lows rapidly with depth), hypolimnion

Ecological Succession : same locality becomes successfully colonized by different communities of organisms

Primary Succession : succession over bare area, not occupied by vegetation in the past

Secondary Succession : initialy vegetation was present but later destroyed

Autotrophic succession : there is early and continuous dominance of autotrophs

Heterotrophic succession

Autogenic Succession : succession caused by interaction of organisms and environmental conditions

Allogenic Succession : succession caused by extral environmental conditions

Nudation : formation of bare area
