DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Secondary succession-Succession where natural communities develop in an area that was earlier occupied by living organisms that were somehow lost. It begins in areas where natural biotic communities have been destroyed such as in abandoned farm lands, deforested lands, flooded lands, burned forests, etc.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
