Functional Group Succession

Functional Group Succession is a conceptual model within coral reef ecology that identifies the sequential reorganization of ecological functional groups—defined by shared roles in ecosystem processes—during successional stages, distinguishing it from taxonomic or species-based successional analyses by emphasizing trait-based shifts in community function over time.
