Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -This land was once used for growing crops. Now that the field is abandoned, secondary succession has begun. Pioneer species, such as grasses, appear first, and then shrubs and trees begin to grow. Another event that results in secondary succession is a forest fire (Figure below and Figure below).

Detailed explanation-3: -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
