During ecological succession:

1.  gradual and predictable change in the composition of species occurs in a given area.
2.  establishment of a new biotic community is very fast in its primary phase.
3.  the number and types of animals are constant.
4.  changes lead to a community that is in equilibrium with the environment and is called a pioneer community.
