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-4: -For over a century, ecologists have investigated the nature of these changes in communities, documenting the causes and patterns of change, indentifying mechanisms for change, and developing sets of general principles to explain this change. This change in community composition over time is termed succession.
