How does ecological succession differ from natural selection?

Question

Piper Anderson · Accepted Answer

Ecological succession is replacement process, while the natural selection of selection among the suitables.

The ecological succession is gradual process on a bare place, where the population of simple organimsms are replaced by higher organisms. It may be hydrosere, xerosere.
The natural selection process is selection work. The suitables are selected from the population. The unsuitables gradually disappear from the population. Thank you

undefined Ecological succession refers to the process of gradual change in the species composition of a community over time, usually following a disturbance. It involves predictable stages of vegetation development. Natural selection, on the other hand, is the process by which heritable traits that enhance an organism's ability to survive and reproduce become more common in a population over successive generations. While ecological succession involves changes in the structure and composition of communities, natural selection acts on individual organisms within populations to drive adaptations to environmental pressures.
