Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘Secondary succession’.
Detailed explanation-2: -In an area where there is no soil, the process is called primary succession. In an area where soil already exists, such as an abandoned field or forest after a fire, the process is called secondary succession.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following best describes when secondary succession occurs? Explanation: Secondary succession can be described as the colonization of a habitat that once supported plant and animal life but was abandoned due to ecological disturbance.
Detailed explanation-4: -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 begin to grow. A forest fire can alter a habitat such that secondary succession occurs (Figures below).
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
