Primary Succession
Climatic succession, often referred to as primary succession, takes the longest to occur. This process begins in lifeless areas where soil has not yet formed, such as after a volcanic eruption or glacier retreat. It can take thousands of years for ecosystems to develop fully, as pioneer species gradually create conditions conducive to more complex life forms. In contrast, secondary succession, which occurs in previously inhabited areas after disturbances, typically happens much more quickly.
primary succession
Primary succession takes longer than secondary succession because it begins in a lifeless area where no soil exists, such as after a volcanic eruption or glacier retreat. In primary succession, the initial stages involve the formation of soil through the weathering of rock and the accumulation of organic material, which is a slow process. In contrast, secondary succession occurs in areas where a disturbance has cleared an existing ecosystem but left the soil intact, allowing for faster recovery and regrowth.
Primary succession occurs when there is no existing biotic community present. This type of succession starts with bare rock or soil and involves the gradual process of ecosystem development over time. Pioneer species, such as lichens and mosses, are the first to colonize the area and pave the way for more complex plant and animal communities to establish.

It takes about 1,000 years for primary succession.

Secondary succession.
Transplantation
Primary succession typically takes longer than secondary succession because it involves the gradual development of ecosystems on bare rock or soil where no organisms were previously present. Secondary succession occurs on already established ecosystems after a disturbance, allowing for a quicker regeneration of plant and animal communities.
A good example of primary succession takes place after a volcano has a secondary succession is a process started by an event.
This succession is called autotrophic autogenous.
Mars takes the longest of the inner planets.
