Answer: It occurs after a disturbance.
Explanation: Ecological succession is the gradual, directional change in species composition and community structure over time following a disturbance (secondary succession) or on newly exposed substrates (primary succession). It is not always caused by humans, is often somewhat predictable in stages, and typically proceeds over long time scales rather than as rapid changes.
