Succession leads inevitably toward an ideally adapted climax plant community or ecosystem.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Succession simply refers to the process of change in vegetation and ecosystem structure over time. While there may be some degree of adaptation toward more stable conditions, there is no guarantee that a particular community or ecosystem will ever reach an "ideal" state. In fact, disturbance events and external factors can continue to shape and modify ecosystems indefinitely.
