🏜Ecological succession is a process of change in ecosystems that affect the structure of the species over time.
1. Each community creates conditions that subsequently allow next communities to adapt to a habitat.
2. Gradually, the decomposition of biomass contributes to soil formation
3. When mature soil is formed and enough amount of nutrients become available the climax community (stable ecosystem e.g. a forest), is attained.
4. A climax community will persist in a given location until novel disturbances occur.
Microbiome consortia are an important part of this process.
The adaptation of regenerative farming practices can thus help to avoid soil disturbance and leave room for natural soil formation processes.
