Detailed explanation-1: -This process of succession takes about 150 years.
Detailed explanation-2: -Secondary succession happens when a climax community or intermediate community is impacted by a disturbance. This restarts the cycle of succession, but not back to the beginning-soil and nutrients are still present.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ecological succession is a gradual process of change and replacement of the types of species in a community. The process of ecological succession may take hundreds or thousands of years. Each new community that arises often makes it harder for the previous community to survive.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Secondary succession occurs faster than primary succession because it already has a physical substrate, such as soil that is capable of sustaining life.
