Individual and public health are affected by environmental and genetic factors is a statement which reflects reality. Firstly, susceptibility to certain diseases usually or often runs in a family so that if there is say, diabetes in the father and grandmother for example, the son or daughter has more chances of getting it so this is a genetic susceptibility.. Also, some families are more prone to cancer so that given the right circumstances, cancer can develop. So it is usually a combination of both genetic and environmental causes that results in a disease. An example of public health could be when smallpox was deliberately introduced to the First Nations people in British Columbia, Canada back in the 1800's to decimate them and remove their resistance to the gold mining hordes. Since the First Nations had no anti-bodies to counteract such a disease unlike the white men who introduced it to them, then they easily fell prey to it and died within days of contracting it.

<u> Succession</u> refers to the process that facilitates plant communities gradually changing over a period of time in order to respond to their environment.

Succession can be described as changes that occur in an ecosystem in response to the changes in the environment or any other disturbances.

Succession can be of two types. 1. Primary succession 2.Secondary succession

Primary succession occurs on lands where there was no life before. With time, plants start to grow here and a community is developed.

Secondary succession occurs on lands that have been destroyed due to any disturbances like a flood or a fire. Over time, new plants start to grow on this land and a community is developed.
