Answer:

the process by which the structure of a biological community evolves over time.

Ecological succession is the gradual process by which ecosystems change and develop over time, from the pioneer community to the climax community.

Ecological succession is the process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over time. The time scale can be decades (for example, after a wildfire), or even millions of years after a mass extinction.
