What is a primary plant succession?
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.

When does succession occur?
Succession occurs when like a volcano erupts and the land is covered with the volcanic rock and no plants can grow. Then, it takes many years for plants and animals to be restored. Also, like when a farmer takes land with trees, and cuts them done for farm land. If he eventually leaves, it takes time, maybe 40 years, for it to restore. I hope that helped.
Is primary succession faster than secondary succession?
Secondary succession is faster than primary succession because soil is already there and the soil usually contains many seeds.
What is the difference between primary and secondary sucession?

How does secondary succession differ from primary succession?
Primary succession occurs after the complete wipe out of vegetation. After the wipe out occurs, small shrubs and grasses grow. Secondary succession however, occurs when there has been destruction to the land, but not enough to completely devastate the area. Hard woods grow during secondary succession.
What are some examples of causes of primary succession?
Glaciers that will lead a bare surface or a volcano eruption that results in a barren land
What is an example of primary succesion?
A volcano erupts and sends lava spewing down its sides creating land as it falls into a lake and hardens. And then, a small plant spore drifts by in the wind and lands in the destroyed land. This spore, given only water and sunlight will grow into small plants, like mosses and lichens. Slowly, as life accumulates over centuries other organisms invade the land. Primary succession occurs on a newly exposed land or rock, like hardened lava, on which new life forms. A secondary succession (for your curiosity) involves the same process as primary succession, but it involves an ecological growth on an area of land where life exists no more, but where life has existed.
Where are three examples of places where secondary succession might occur?
Abandoned farmland. or any land where a natural disaster just took place.
