Oligotrophic, mesotrophic and eutrophic are all related to ecological succession because over time the lakes gradually can become more shallow from droughts or the opposite can also occur when there are floods. For example a lake could start off being huge and be considered oligotrophic then the area could experience no rain for a while and become mesotrophic then after experiencing a drought for a while there could be spots in the lake that become eutrophic where the water will start to become muddy. This can also occur in the tanks we are taking care of in class if we let the bacteria take over the tank the water will become cloudy and look like a eutrophic lake would.
