Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Secondary succession occurs in areas where disturbance has destroyed the previous community without destroying the soil. Examples include forest fires, landslides, and abandoned farmland. Pioneer species colonize the area first, followed by a gradual transition to a more diverse community, until a stable climax community is eventually reached. This process can take many years or even centuries.
