floods occur after forest fires because the fires will have destroyed all the trees and their root systems. So when there is an average amount of rain, the rain just washes past the dead trees because there are no roots to take in the water and slow it down.

Would a forest fire happen after secondary succession?

A forest fire can occur after secondary succession, although it is not guaranteed. Secondary succession typically follows disturbances that do not completely destroy the soil or ecosystem, such as wildfires, floods, or human activities. Once the ecosystem has recovered and vegetation has reestablished, conditions such as drought or lightning may still lead to another fire. Thus, while secondary succession creates a resilient ecosystem, it does not eliminate the risk of future fires.
