Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is secondary succession? Secondary succession occurs in areas where a biological community has already existed but some or all of that community has been removed by small-scale disturbances that did not eliminate all life and nutrients from the environment.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ecosystem: The collection of all living organisms in a geographic area, together with all the living and non-living things with which they interact.
