according to my research ecological succession and biological succession of plant life is the two primary succession in tundra.

Secondary succession is defined as a type of plant life. Secondary succession is something that is started by an event, such as a fire, and reduces the ecosystem and makes it smaller.
Secondary succession occurs after a disturbance that leaves behind soil and some plant species. It typically occurs faster than primary succession because there is already existing soil. As succession progresses, more complex plant and animal communities establish themselves.
Human beings influence succession by suspending succession at one phase, for example, through forest fires. This causes the cycle to restart. Succession is the process by which a plant community replace another overtime.
Primary plant succession is the first stage of succession. Primary succession takes place on land and soil that has undergone a disturbance, eg after a mud slide, fires etc. Primary succession usually involves basic plant life and fungi colonising the disturbed area. These plants tend to be first of all mosses and lichens followed by grasses and small flowering plants. Primary succession over time will provide the soil with more nutrients and will increase the organic horizon layer of soil allowing secondary succession (bushes and larger plants dependant on more nutrients and soil) to commence.
Secondary succession, where plant and animal life recolonize an area after a disturbance has disrupted an existing ecosystem.
A change in plant communities through time is Succession.
