What takes longer primary succession or secondary succession?

Primary succession typically takes longer than secondary succession. This is because primary succession occurs in lifeless areas where soil has not yet formed, such as after a volcanic eruption or glacial retreat, requiring a longer time for soil development and ecosystem establishment. In contrast, secondary succession happens in areas where a disturbance has cleared an existing ecosystem but left the soil intact, allowing for faster recovery and regrowth.
