    Secondary succession begins with colonizing species that establish on previously existing soil substrates after a disturbance, such as from fires, floods, harvesting or pest attacks. These colonizing species prepare the site for later successional species by accumulating nutrients and modifying the environment. Over time, the community of species changes through colonization and competition until a climax community is reached.

    • while primary succession is formed from scratch and • Secondary succession is formed from pre existing
    bear rocks soil substrate, meaning there were colonizers or a
    community of animals and plants before remains
    Examples
    • After forest fire
    • After flood
    • After harvesting
    • After epidemic disease
    • After pest attack
    • After hurricane
    • After a cyclone (common
    in tropical rain forests with
