Detailed explanation-1: -Secondary succession occurs when the severity of disturbance is insufficient to remove all the existing vegetation and soil from a site. Many different kinds of disturbances, such as fire, flooding, windstorms, and human activities (e.g., logging of forests) can initiate secondary succession.
Detailed explanation-2: -Secondary succession begins after a disturbance, like a fire. Crucially, some soil and nutrients remain present-fire, in fact, may help recycle those nutrients.
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.
