Allogenic succession
In ecology, allogenic succession is succession driven by the abiotic components of an ecosystem.[1] In contrast, autogenic succession is driven by the biotic components of the ecosystem.[1] An allogenic succession can be brought about in a number of ways which can include:
- Volcanic eruptions
- Grazing animals
- Human interference
- Flooding
- Non-anthropogenic climate change[2]
