Detailed explanation-3: -The 5 stages of Ecological Succession in successive order are-Nudation, Invasion, Competition and Co-action, Reaction, and Climax or Stabilization.
Detailed explanation-4: -In secondary succession, a previously occupied area is re-colonized following a disturbance that kills much or all of its community. A classic example of secondary succession occurs in oak and hickory forests cleared by wildfire. Wildfires will burn most vegetation and kill animals unable to flee the area.
