Detailed explanation-1: -Secondary succession occurs after a disturbance such as a forest fire, where there is still some organic matter to allow new plants to grow. Both types of succession take place over long periods of time and result in the communities reaching a state of equilibrium.
Detailed explanation-2: -Secondary succession starts when a disturbance (such as wind storms, insect outbreaks, logging, avalanches, bulldozers, or fire) leaves the soil intact. Seeds, spores, and roots usually remain as well. Sites that begin with secondary succession reach the next stage more quickly than during primary succession.
Detailed explanation-3: -Secondary Succession Stages The fire destroyed the vegetation. The fire leaves behind empty but does not destroy the soil. Grasses and other herbaceous plants grow back first. Small bushes and trees started to colonize the public area.
