Correct Answer: B. It occurs after a disturbance

Ecological succession is like nature's slow dance, a gradual transformation in the types of plants and animals that call a community home. It unfolds over time, triggered by disturbances or the creation of a new habitat. Picture it as a series of steps: one group of species alters the environment, making it just right for another set of species to move in and flourish. This orchestrated sequence of changes in the community's makeup and structure is what we call ecological succession. In simpler terms, it's the ongoing story of how a community evolves and adapts over time, a tale of growth and transformation in the natural world.
