Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Succession is the process of natural development that follows a major disturbance, such as a wildfire or hurricane. It involves the gradual replacement of one plant or animal community with another over time. The new community that emerges may be different from the original one in terms of species composition and structure, but it will eventually reach a stable state until the next disturbance occurs. Extinction, dormancy, and immediate recovery are not typical responses to a major disturbance, and another disturbance may occur but it is not a response of the community itself.
