Models of the long-term ecological successions are
considered. Succession process is considered as step-bystep
changing of dominant association. The model of
open Eigen’s hypercycle has been used for modeling of
the process. Qualitative analysis for three-dimension
case has been carried out, and local bifurcations have
been investigated. The process of succession can be
interpreted as system’s choosing a proper level of
complexity (or dimension) depending on the capacity of
environment (the size of ecological niche). Connections
between changing a state of the system and bifurcations
in phase space is shown.
