Markovian Approaches to Ecological Succession
The Journal of Animal Ecology, 1979SUMMARY (1) Analysis of published studies generally indicates that ecological succession can be considered as a non-random process. (2) Two examples are discussed in detail, termite succession on baitwood blocks in Ghana (Usher 1975) and predator-prey dynamics of mites in a complex universe of oranges (Huffaker 1958), and both indicate that succession ...

Succession and Ecological Theory
1981Succession has reigned as a basic concept or theory of ecology certainly since Frederick E. Clements (1916) stated as a “universal law” that “all bare places give rise to new communities except those which present the most extreme conditions of water, temperature, light, or soil.” Its significance persists and was described by Eugene Odum (1969, p. 262)

Ecology: Why failure is success for an ecological theory
Current BiologyA theory-derived ecological equation of state relating biodiversity, productivity, abundance and biomass in ecosystems has been tested with satellite-derived proxy forestry data. Predicted failure of the relationship in disturbed ecosystems is partially supported but further ground-based analysis is needed.

Ecological Succession and Community Dynamics
2012“Ecological Succession” is an ordered progression of structural and compositional changes in communities toward an eventual unchanging condition, the climax community 1 –3. The term “Community” is used in two ways 4. The “Abstract Community” refers to an abstract group of organisms that recurs on the landscape, a definition, which usually carries with ...
