What is the difference between ecological succession and bioitc succession?

Answer 1

natural selection is a process which selects among different variants of same species created by chance mutations (1 in billion), the best variant is selected and dominates the other variant while succession applies on whole community, not on variants of same species and it leads to finally establishment of most stable community (eg.forest) and eventually eliminate the other (eg.lichen community)

Answer 2

Well, they're entirely different concepts. Writing down a list of differences between them is perhaps less useful than simply describing what they are. But, to keep a long story short, one may simply say that speciation is a phenomenon that may be caused, in part, by the process of natural selection. So, in this view, natural selection is a cause, speciation an effect.

Answer 3

eco succession is a fundamental concept which refers to more or less predictable and orderly changes in composition and structure in ecological community. whereas biotic succession refers only to the change in the population in a biotic community.

Answer 4

Ecological succession refers to the process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over time. Biotic succession specifically focuses on the changes in the biotic (living) components of an ecosystem during this process. In essence, biotic succession is a subset of ecological succession, focusing solely on the living organisms.
