Secondary Succession
Vegetation regrows rapidly
Secondary Succession
Starts from herbs/shrubs then large trees
Secondary Succession
Soil is intact
Secondary Succession
Pioneer species are the species that first inhabit barren areas

Prediction rates
Both Primary and Secondary Succession

Has a climax community and then becomes a biome
Both Primary and Secondary Succession
Starts from remnants of older communities
Both Primary and Secondary Succession
Series of events in which life comes back
Succession
Organisms hat make a living after a disaster
Pioneer Organisms
After succession (climax organisms)
