Detailed explanation-1: -The fire leaves behind empty, but not destroyed soil. Grasses and other herbaceous plants grow back first. Small bushes and trees begin to colonize the public area. Fast-growing evergreen trees and bamboo trees develop to their fullest, while shade-tolerant trees develop in the understory.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The order of secondary succession is pioneer species, intermediate species, and finally climax community. The pioneer species are the first to colonize and include the producers like lichens and mosses. The intermediate species appear next and include shrubby plants and small trees.
Detailed explanation-4: -After forest fire. After flood. After harvesting. After epidemic disease. After pest attack. After hurricane. After a cyclone (common in tropical rain forests with fast-growing evergreen trees) After windstorm. 05-Aug-2022
