ECOLOGICAL SUCCESSION "Ecological succession" is the observed process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over time. Within any community some species may become less abundant over some time interval‚ or they may even vanish from the ecosystem altogether. Similarly‚ over some time interval‚ other species within the community may become more abundant‚ or new species may even invade into the community from adjacent ecosystems. This observed change over time in what is living
