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 changes occur during ecological succession? Assertion: During an ecological succession, the number of species increases, the community biomass increases and the community’s ratio of respiration to photosynthesis also increases.
