Abstract
Successional processes in ecosystems have long been studied in ecology, and over a century of work in this field have spawned a series of different successional theories related to how ecosystems develop over time (see Chapter 1). Although ecologists agree on some of the main drivers of changes in species composition within a community, the plethora of different habitats which occur in nature, often with differing histories and organismal composition and structure, does not allow for a unifying theory of succession applicable to all ecosystems or habitats (McIntosh 1999).
