In ecology, an autogenic succession describes a succession where the stimulus for change is an internal one. For example gradual soil improvement could allow a new species to develop.

An autogenic succession can be contrasted by an allogenic succession. This describes a change in succession where the stimulus for change is an external one. For example a flood could bring about a change in species.
