Question

Ecological succession is also ecological regulation of the habitat. Comment.

Answer 1

Ecological succession, a fundamental concept in ecology, refers to more-or-less predictable and orderly changes in the composition or structure of an ecological community. Succession may be initiated either by formation of new, unoccupied habitat or by some form of disturbance of an existing community. The trajectory of ecological change can be influenced by site conditions, by the interactions of the species present, and by more stochastic factors such as availability of colonists or seeds, or weather conditions at the time of disturbance. Due to ecological succession, there is a regulation maintained of the habitat. In general, communities in early succession will be dominated by fast-growing, well-dispersed species
