|

deforestation

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Thus secondary succession cannot take place in it. An area with newly cooled lava cannot be the site for secondary succession, since it was not inhabitable before cooling down. Thus it is also an example for primary succession.
Detailed explanation-2: -A classic example of secondary succession occurs in oak and hickory forests cleared by wildfire (Figure 4.3. 4. 4). Wildfires will burn most vegetation and kill those animals unable to flee the area.
