Succession in an ecosystem ceases when a stable, mature community, known as a climax community, is established, where species interactions, nutrient cycling, and energy flow are balanced. This equilibrium can be disrupted by environmental changes, leading to new succession events. Additionally, human activities, such as deforestation or urbanization, can also halt or alter succession processes. However, succession may restart if the ecosystem experiences disturbances that create new opportunities for species to colonize.

Succession allows for the ecosystem to recover and adapt to environmental changes. It increases biodiversity and creates new habitats for different species to thrive. Additionally, succession can improve the ecosystem's stability and resilience to disturbances.

The process succession is affected by various factors. The ecosystem and the different species available mainly affect succession.

Succession is the process by which the structure and composition of an ecosystem change over time. It can result in changes in vegetation, species diversity, and ecosystem services as new species colonize and compete with existing ones. Ultimately, succession can lead to the development of a more complex and stable ecosystem.
After a forest fire, an ecosystem goes through a process called succession. This is the gradual change in plant and animal communities over time as the ecosystem recovers and regenerates. Initially, pioneer species colonize the area followed by a more diverse community as succession progresses.
It depends on just where the ecosystem is located.
