Detailed explanation-1: -Secondary succession is more common and usually occurs faster than primary succession because the substrate is already present. Secondary succession occurs on a surface where an ecosystem has previously existed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Secondary succession is the ecological succession that occurs after the initial succession has been disrupted and some plants and animals still exist. It is usually faster than primary succession as soil is already present, and seeds, roots, and the underground vegetative organs of plants may still survive in the soil.
Detailed explanation-3: -Secondary succession is a faster process than primary succession because some cones or seeds likely remain after the disturbance.
Detailed explanation-4: -What is the MAJOR difference between primary and secondary succession? Primary succession takes longer than secondary succession because soil needs to be created. Soil is already present in secondary succession.
