Secondary succession begins in an area where the natural community has been disturbed.
Example: Annual weeds --> perennial weeds and grasses --> shrubs & pine seedlings --> young pine forest with developing understory of hickory & oak trees --> mature oak-hickory forest
1. Water, temperature, & soil minerals are examples of abiotic factors that can influence plant (producer) growth, which primary producers (e.g. rabbit) rely on as a food source. A secondary consumer (e.g. coyote) then eats the primary consumer. So changes in any of the abiotic factors listed above will ultimately affect the coyote population.
2. New environmental conditions allow one group of species in a community to replace other groups. Succession involves species competing for enough light, nutrients and space which will influence it's trajectory.

A good example of primary succession takes place after a volcano has a secondary succession is a process started by an event.
The two types of succession are primary succession and secondary succession. Primary succession occurs on bare rock or soil with no previous life, while secondary succession occurs in areas where an ecosystem was previously established but has been disturbed, such as after a forest fire or clear-cutting. An example of primary succession is the colonization of a volcanic island, while an example of secondary succession is the regrowth of vegetation after a forest fire.
Primary succession. Follow the answer to "What is secondary succession?".
Secondary succession can happy after primary succession . Secondary can be independent but is not usually independent from primary succession.
Secondary succession.

No, grass poking through a sidewalk is an example of secondary succession. Primary succession occurs on entirely new substrates, while secondary succession occurs on previously established ecosystems that have been disturbed or disrupted.
primary succession
Grass poking through a crack in a sidewalk is an example of secondary succession. This is because the sidewalk already existed, and the grass is growing after a disturbance (such as the cracking of the sidewalk) has occurred, allowing for new plant growth in the area.
