Abstract

The classical concepts of succession and climax were burdened with intractable assumptions and were difficult to apply to the field. Conceptual refinements and more realistic assumptions have been proposed to identify the useful essence of the original ideas. The contemporary theory of community dynamics emphasizes process rather than end point, accommodates the richness of causes of succession, and motivates diverse research approaches.

摘要

经典的演替和顶极概念带有难以处理的假设，难以应用于该领域。为了确定原始思想的有用本质，已经提出了概念上的改进和更现实的假设。群落动态的现代理论强调过程而不是终点，容纳了演替原因的丰富性，并激发了多种研究方法。
