|
|
It doesn’t, it takes longer than primary succession.
|
|
|
Because the area receives more sunshine and rain.
|
|
|
Because animals prefer a climax community, so they make it take less time.
|
|
|
Because seed, soil, and small plants are already present in secondary succession.

Detailed explanation-1: -The secondary succession is usually faster than the primary succession for the following reasons. The soil is already present. Seeds, roots, and underground vegetative organs may still exist in the soil.
Detailed explanation-2: -The disturbance could be a fire, flood, or human action such as logging or farming. Secondary succession can occur faster than primary succession because the soil is already in place. In secondary succession, the pioneer species are plants that are adapted to exploit disturbances rather than bare rock.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why does secondary succession typically proceed faster than primary succession? Because it mostly occurs on a surface where an ecosystem has previously existed. Primary succession only occurs on a surface where no ecosystem existed before.
Detailed explanation-4: -Climax community can be reached more quickly in secondary succession due to established soil and presence of pioneer species.
