Detailed explanation-1: -Ecological succession is a series of more-or-less predictable changes that occur in a community over time. Ecosystems change over time, especially after disturbances, as some species die out and new species move in. Over the course of succession, the number of different species present typically increases.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ecological succession is the steady and gradual change in a species of a given area with respect to the changing environment. It is a predictable change and is an inevitable process of nature as all the biotic components have to keep up with the changes in our environment.

Detailed explanation-3: -By Max Witynski. 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Succession describes the patterns of change in ecosystems when a new environment is formed or after an existing environment is disturbed. Succession occurs in all types of ecosystems, from oceans and wetlands to tundra, deserts, and forests. Bare Rock to Deep Forest.

Detailed explanation-5: -The 5 stages of Ecological Succession in successive order are-Nudation, Invasion, Competition and Co-action, Reaction, and Climax or Stabilization. Ecological Succession refers to the process by which the mix of species and habitats changes over time.
