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: -Solution: During the process of ecological succession, the changes that take place in communities are orderly and sequential.
Detailed explanation-3: -The 5 stages of Ecological Succession include the following – Nudation, Competition and Co-action, Invasion, Reaction, and Climax or Stabilization.
Detailed explanation-4: -According to E.P. Odum (1971), the ecological succession is an orderly process of community change in a unit area. It is the process of change in species composition in an ecosystem over time. In simpler terms, it is the process of Ecosystem Development in nature.
