succession
The ecological development of a community is called ecological succession. This process involves gradual changes in species composition and ecosystem structure over time in response to environmental factors such as climate, soil composition, and biotic interactions.
Succession is the gradual change in living communities that occurs following a disturbance. It involves a predictable sequence of species colonization and replacement over time, leading to the development of a stable and mature ecosystem.
Evolution
The gradual change in living things over long periods of time is called evolution. It involves genetic variation, natural selection, and adaptation leading to the development of new species.
This process is called ecological succession. It is the gradual and predictable change in the species composition of an ecosystem over time, following a disturbance or the creation of a new habitat. It can lead to the development of a stable and mature ecosystem.
A gradual change in the members of a community over time is known as succession. This process involves a series of predictable changes in the species composition and structure of a community as it evolves towards a stable state. Succession can be primary (starting from bare rock or soil) or secondary (following a disturbance).
evolution
The gradual development or replacement of one ecological community by another is known as ecological succession. This process occurs over time as environmental conditions change, leading to shifts in species composition and community structure. Succession can be primary, starting from bare substrate, or secondary, occurring in previously inhabited areas after a disturbance. Ultimately, it results in a more stable and mature ecosystem, often culminating in a climax community.
A gradual development of life forms over time.
A gradual change in life-forms over time is organic evolution.
