Detailed explanation-1: -She divides the series of events that happen during primary and secondary succession into three different stages. Which feature might be used to distinguish secondary succession from primary succession? the presence of soil and organic matter in the first stage.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Explanation: Primary succession occurs in an environment without previous life, or a barren habitat. Secondary succession occurs in an area that had previously been inhabited but experienced a disturbance, such as a wildfire. In this scenario, there still would be soil.
Detailed explanation-4: -The 5 stages of Ecological Succession in successive order are-Nudation, Invasion, Competition and Co-action, Reaction, and Climax or Stabilization.
Detailed explanation-5: -Secondary succession is usually faster than primary succession because soil and nutrients are already present due to ‘normalization’ by previous pioneer species, and because roots, seeds and other biotic organisms may still be present within the substrate.
