Secondary succession is likely to occur ____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Secondary succession typically occurs in areas where the soil already exists, but has been disturbed or removed. An abandoned field would fit this description, as the soil would still be present but vegetation has been removed. The other options would either involve primary succession (such as in the case of newly formed volcanic islands or land exposed by glacial retreat) or already mature ecosystems (such as a mature forest). Land with little to no soil would also most likely undergo primary succession.
