Abstract
⺠We present a general model of entropic production during ecological succession. ⺠Provides new insight into the driving process, direction and seral progression. ⺠We suggest that succession moves towards an energetic rather than an ecological climax. ⺠We identify two important elements of this relationship: Smax and rs. ⺠The underlying changes in entropy production are suggested to control seral change.
