Succession in office See Also: Order of succession In Politics , succession is the ascension to power by one Politician or Monarch after another, usually in a clearly defined order. See, for example:
Legal succession: Inheritance or heirship Succession of property at law covers the two distinct concepts of inheritance (a gift made by Will or other Testamentary document on death) and heirship, which applies where property passed to one or more dependants according to a formula set out in law, religion, custom or under the terms of a trust. Succession may also apply to artificial persons, usually through Corporate Merger s or reorganizations. Musical succession In Music or Musical Set Theory , a succession is a series of any musical parameters including Pitch es, Pitch Class es, or Simultaneities (see Simultaneity Succession ). ''Succession'' may be thought of as a more general term for any possible progression, as in Chord Progression or Harmonic progression, though not all simultaneity successions are harmonic progressions. Ecological succession See Also: Ecological succession Ecological succession refers to the often predictable series of changes in an Ecological Community over time after a disturbance, such as a fire, hurricane, or a small-scale disturbance such as a tree fall. |
