Ecological succession is the process that describes how the structure of a (that is, an interacting group of various in a desert forest grassland marine environment, and so on) changes over time.
Ecological succession is the process by which the mix of species and habitat in an area changes over time. Gradually, these communities replace one another until a “climax community”—like a mature forest—is reached, or until a disturbance, like a fire, occurs. Ecological succession is a fundamental concept in ecology.
Ecological succession is a term developed by botanists to describe the change in structure of a community of different species, or ecosystem. The concept of ecological succession arose from a desire to understand how large and complex ecosystems like forests can exist in places known to be recently formed, such as volcanic islands.
Ecological succession describes changes that occur in a community over time. Primary succession begins on bare substrate with no life. Pioneer plant species move in first. Secondary succession occurs due to disturbance. A climax community is a fully mature end stage of succession.
Ecological succession is the process of change in the species that make up an ecological community over time. The process of succession occurs either after the initial colonization of a newly created habitat, or after a disturbance substantially alters a pre-existing habitat. [1] .
Ecological succession, is how a specific ecology changes after a disturbance, like a fire. [1] In long-term studies, there is a succession in the way forests develop. [ 2 ]
