About this document

Understanding Ecological Succession by Vega Putri is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Ecological succession is the natural process of change in the species that live in an area over time. Primary succession begins in areas without soil, like after volcanoes or landslides, starting with lichens and mosses that form soil. Over decades, simpler plants grow and add nutrients until trees and wildlife arrive. Secondary succession recolonizes areas with existing soil, like after fires, progressing faster through pioneer species to a stable climax community.
