Explanation: 

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: -The 5 Stages of Succession are Nudation, Invasion, Competition and Co-action, Reaction, and Climax or Stabilization. At the same location, a succession of biotic communities naturally emerges one after another until the Climax stage is reached. In their early stages, biotic communities develop slowly.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biotic succession is another name of ecological succession. it involves different species of organisms invading and developing in a same particular area at different times. It starts with a pioneer community and ends with a climax community.
