DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A classic example of secondary succession occurs in oak and hickory forests cleared by wildfire. Wildfires will burn most vegetation and kill those animals unable to flee the area. Their nutrients, however, are returned to the ground in the form of ash.

Detailed explanation-2: -Forest succession is simply the succession or the orderly and predictable change in the dominant species of forest plants. The change in dominance occurs because the plants that dominate early often die early, allowing longer lived plants dominance.

Detailed explanation-3: -Secondary succession occurs in an area that is previously colonized but disturbed or damaged habitat. For example, after falling a tree in the woods, land clearance, or a fire. Succession will not move further than the climax community. This is the final stage of succession.
