- Primary succession begins in areas where no soil is present.
- Secondary succession occurs in areas where there is soil already present.
Ecological succession refers to orderly changes in an ecological community. These changes may happen
- because of the start of a new empty habitat (after a landslide, glacier, nuclear explosion, lava flow or even concreting), where all traces of previous biological material, even soil have been wiped out (Primary), or
- by some sort of disturbance (like bush fires, harvesting or logging) of an already existing habitat, which is not severe enough to kill everything. So plants can regrow and seeds spring up again (Secondary).
Primary succession's the succession taking place at a venue where no ecosystems has ever existed (300yrs) and secondary succession's a succession at a venue where an ecosystem was once established but deceased due to human impacts or natural disasters.
What else can I help you with?
Why is the difference between primary and secondary succession not always clear?
The difference between primary and secondary succession may not always be clear because both processes involve the establishment and growth of plant and animal communities over time. Primary succession occurs in areas that were previously devoid of life, like after a volcanic eruption, while secondary succession occurs in areas that already had life but were disturbed, like after a forest fire. The transitions between primary and secondary succession can be blurred in cases where the initial disturbance was severe, erasing most previous lifeforms.
What is the difference between primary and secondary succesion?
Primary succession occurs on newly exposed surfaces with no soil, while secondary succession occurs in areas with existing soil that has been disturbed or altered. Primary succession starts with pioneer species that can survive harsh conditions, while secondary succession starts with species that can quickly colonize open areas.
When does secondary succession could occur after?
Secondary succession can happy after primary succession . Secondary can be independent but is not usually independent from primary succession.
What would be followed by secondary succession?
Primary succession. Follow the answer to "What is secondary succession?".
Is a volcano a secondary succession or a primary succession?
secondary sucession
What is the difference between primary an secondary sucession?
Primary succession is when development of an area that has not had a community begins. Secondary succession is when a community starts to rebuild itself after a disturbance(Like a hurricane or tornado). Hope this helps :D

Desribe how secondary succession in a forest differs from primary succession after a volcano?
A good example of primary succession takes place after a volcano has a secondary succession is a process started by an event.
