Detailed explanation-1: -Secondary succession occurs when the severity of disturbance is insufficient to remove all the existing vegetation and soil from a site. Many different kinds of disturbances, such as fire, flooding, windstorms, and human activities (e.g., logging of forests) can initiate secondary succession.
Detailed explanation-2: -Secondary succession proceeds faster than primary succession, in part because soil survives the disturbance. As a result, new and surviving vegetation can regrow rapidly. Secondary succession often follows a wildfire, hurricane, or other natural disturbance.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Humans affect ecological succession by altering the rate at which succession naturally occurs. Humans can enhance the rate of succession by planting plants in the soil which helps to kickstart the process of secondary succession.
