Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -Ecological succession occurs due to the changes in the physical environment and population of species. It may also occur when the conditions of an environment suddenly and drastically change. For example, forest fires, wind storms, and human activities all greatly alter the conditions of an environment.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is a very slow process because it begins on bare rock. A glacier that retreats leaves behind no soil. Lava from a volcanic eruption hardens into bare rock. Primary succession begins with soil formation.
