Ecological succession is the general term for the orderly change in species composition and habitat in an area over time, through a series of seral stages, until a relatively stable climax community is reached.
Primary and secondary succession are its two types: primary succession starts on bare ground with no soil, such as rock or lava, and secondary succession follows a disturbance that leaves soil in place, such as fire or abandoned farmland. Each is narrower than the process described. 'Community succession' is not the standard term.
