|
It doesn’t, it takes longer than primary succession.
|
|
Because the area receives more sunshine and rain.
|
|
Because animals prefer a climax community, so they make it take less time.
|
|
Because seed, soil, and small plants are already present in secondary succession.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -The plants are the pioneer species of these areas as soil is present already. Eventually, the species may form a stable community. Secondary succession is faster than the primary succession as the growth media or the soil is already present which allows growth of the plants.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Why does secondary succession typically proceed faster than primary succession? Because it mostly occurs on a surface where an ecosystem has previously existed. Primary succession only occurs on a surface where no ecosystem existed before.
