Secondary succession is the process of ecological succession that occurs after a disturbance, such as the clearing of a small woods, where some of the soil remains intact. As the plot is left undisturbed, plants and animals gradually repopulate the area, leading to the development of a new community of organisms. This process differs from primary succession, which occurs on newly formed land without any soil or life, and climax community, which is the final stage of succession where the community becomes stable and self-sustaining. Biological magnification is the process by which pollutants become more concentrated in the tissues of organisms higher up in the food chain.
