What is the assumption of Clements in colonizing successional  species?

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. possession of space is all-important and that the colonists that get there first determine subsequent community structure, such as facilitation
  2. Early colonists may exclude subsequent colonists such as
  3. Any species can start the succession, but the eventual climax community is reached in a somewhat orderly fashion, such as tolerance
  4. Each colonizing species made the environment a little different, such as facilitation

When two excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) occur at a single synapse so rapidly in succession that the postsynaptic neuron's membrane potential has not returned to the resting potential before the second EPSP arrives, the EPSPs add together producing ________.
