Detailed explanation-1: -Ecological succession is the term used to describe what happens to an ecological community over time. It refers to more or less predictable and orderly set of changes that happen in the composition or structure of ecological community.

Detailed explanation-2: -The early ecologists who first studied succession thought of it as a predictable process in which a community always went through the same series of stages. They also thought that the end result of succession was a stable, unchanging final state called a climax community, largely determined by an area’s climate.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ecological succession is a series of somewhat predictable changes that occur in a community over time. Ecological succession can be classified as either primary or secondary. Primary succession occurs in an area where a disruption has left no remnants of the prior community.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The 5 stages of Ecological Succession in successive order are-Nudation, Invasion, Competition and Co-action, Reaction, and Climax or Stabilization.
