In this study we consider a succession process of three-species food-c
hain model in a closed biocenosis in the sense of available resources.
Under this assumption it is shown that the dynamics results in the st
able composition of abiotic and biotic components of the food chain wi
th increase in resources. Here the uptake rate of limiting biogenic el
ements by the prey to be of Lotka-Volterra type and uptake function of
predators to be in the general form. The qualitative character of the
gradual changes in climacteric composition is determined from relatio
nships among ecological parameters. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
