Ecological replacement closely reflects human societal replacement! Particularly in politics?
“The natural process of ecological replacement highlights two mechanisms at work in replacing a complex system that dominates and seems too big to change. Succession relies, in part, on incremental change, the slow & steady replacement of that which does not serve ecological flourishing with new communities that do.
However, it also relies on disturbance on disruption of the status quo in order to let new species(methods & procesures) emerge and flower.
