When you're a baby, you first learn how to crawl, then walk and finally run. As your body ages it experiences typical changes with time.
Likewise, when you plant a tree, it first develops slowly before getting larger and larger. In short, it's a series of predictable changes that become noticeable over time.
The following are the different stages of ecological succession:
Nudation is the formation of a bare region due to various factors such as volcanic eruption, flooding, landslides and so on. Ex: Digging.
Invasion is the arrival of various organisms' reproductive bodies and their establishment in a new location. Ex: Spread of a virus.
Competition is where individuals of a species compete with other organisms for food and other resources. Ex: Corals and Sponges.
Co-action is the referred to the different ways in which one species' life process is affected by the surrounding species. Ex: New invasion of plants.
Reaction is the modification of the environment caused by the presence of a living creature. Ex: Changes in the soil.
Stabilization or Climax is the stage where final or terminal communities become more or less stable for a longer period of time. Ex: Grassland.
