Autogenic succession

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-000968",
  "term": "Autogenic succession",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Ecological succession driven by changes in the environment caused by the organisms themselves, rather than by external physical disturbances. For example, the accumulation of organic matter by plants can alter soil composition, favoring the growth of new species. This contrasts with allogenic succession, which is driven by external factors.",
