What is meant by the term climax community and primary succession and secondary succession? As it relates to ecosystems. :)

Primary succession is the series of community changes which occur on an entirely new habitat which has never been colonized before.Examples of such habitats would include newly exposed or deposited surfaces,such as landslips, volcanic lava and debris,elevated sand banks and dunes, quarried rock faces.
Secondary succession is the series of community changes which take place on a previously colonized, but disturbed or damaged habitat,e.g areas which have been cleared of existing vegetation and destructive events such as fires.
And a climax community is one that has reached the stable stage.

Absolutely great explanation by Amela! Secondary succession also occur where colonies of a certain specie has been usurped by a deviant of the same specie.
