sukession

Sukession is not a standard English word; it is most commonly encountered as a misspelling or nonstandard variant of succession, the concept of following in order or transferring something from one entity to another. Because the term appears in multiple disciplines, context is important for interpretation.

In ecology, succession refers to the gradual replacement of plant and animal communities in a given area over time. Primary succession begins in lifeless environments, while secondary succession follows disturbance in previously inhabited sites. Pioneer species establish, followed by intermediate seral stages, and eventually a climate-appropriate climax community.

In social and political contexts, succession denotes the transfer of leadership, office, or sovereignty. This includes hereditary succession, constitutional rules governing transfer of power, and organizational succession planning in corporations to ensure leadership continuity.

In law, succession concerns the distribution of a deceased person’s estate, following statutory rules of inheritance or intestacy.

In mathematics, a sequence (often called a succession) is an ordered list of elements with a defined rule.

Etymology: from Latin successio, "a going up, following after." Notable uses include the general concept of succession and the television series Succession.
