Ecological Succession
Ecological succession is a fundamental ecological process that describes the gradual change in species composition and ecosystem structure over time in a given area. It is driven by a series of complex interactions between biotic and abiotic factors, such as climate, soil conditions, and species interactions. Understanding ecological succession is crucial for conservation efforts and ecosystem management, as it provides insights into how ecosystems recover from disturbances and how they develop into stable, mature communities. By studying ecological succession, scientists can gain valuable insights into the resilience of ecosystems and their ability to adapt to environmental changes.
