Secondary succession is defined as the series of community changes which take place on a previously colonized, but disturbed or damaged habitat. Examples include areas which have been cleared of existing vegetation (such as after tree-felling in a woodland), destructive events such as fires, and natural disasters which leave an intact sold structure (e.g. hurricane, tornado etc.).
