Successional plan

Succession is the change of species and ecological systems over time, and in the context of landscape architecture, the purposeful manipulation of this transformation to create stable ecosystems. It is often paired with restoration efforts to foster new and stable ecosystems where there previously were none, or that had been affected by a natural disaster or man-made construction. It relies on many sequential actions executed over a longer period of time, anywhere from 10 to 200 years, allowing the species involved to grow and stabilize. Succession planning typically takes place within the context on regional processes that form and manipulate the environment. The system is not so much constructed as it is manipulated within these parameters.”



Succession is a landscape architecture topic. The vegetation grow in a dynamic and constantly shifting with the environment thus create dynamic space and landscape. It is a landscape plan that use plant associations, plant growth habits and planned landscape maintains to create an environment benefiting the ecosystem.To archive a good succession plan, we should know the vegetation well and analyze the bio environment, such as soil, air, water, of the site before make the design.
