|
|
Primary succession starts with bare rock, whereas secondary succession starts with an already established community of plants
|
|
|
Primary succession takes a longer period of time because it begins with bare rock, whereas secondary succession takes a shorter amount of time because it begins with already established soil

Detailed explanation-1: -In primary succession, newly exposed or newly formed rock is colonized by living things for the first time. In secondary succession, an area that was previously occupied by living things is disturbed, then re-colonized following the disturbance.
Detailed explanation-2: -Primary succession is a slower process than secondary succession.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Because the substrate already exists, secondary succession usually happens faster than primary succession. There is no soil in primary succession thus, it must form. This process takes a more extended period because pioneer species must invade the area, die, and soil formed due to this cycle.
Detailed explanation-4: -What is the main difference between primary and secondary succession? Primary succession results in a climax community, whereas secondary succession results in a destroyed community. Primary succession starts with bare rock, whereas secondary succession starts with an already established community of plants.
