FTP, name this observed transition in species composition in ecological communities.
This process is categorized as primary or secondary depending on whether it begins with a bare substrate, and involves a number of intermediate stages known as seres. Early seres are usually characterized by opportunistic species with population growth rates close to the intrinsic rate of increase. Species in the early seres can exhibit facilitation; allowing for the entry of new species in the next stage of this process. In traditional views, it results in a stable climax community.
