This would be an example of secondary succession because there are some vestiges of the previously functioning community (such as the seeds and root systems of surviving plants) that can help jumpstart the process of regrowth. In contrast, primary succession would occur on a completely barren landscape where there are no vestiges of a previous community or soil. Tertiary, quaternary, and quinary succession are not recognized ecological terms.
