Example of primary succession Is when existing communities are affected by natural or human disturbances but not completely destroyed, because soil survives due to this new vegetation can regrow rapidly.Secondary SUCCESSION

An abandoned field turning back to a forest Example of secondary succession

This was a flood in Mississippi the trees had adapted to water so they regrew and still have a very large population in Mississippi.Secondary Succession after natural disturbance

People cutting down rain forests killings tree population, but since secondary succession the trees will regrow as long as not all of them are cut down!Differences of Secondary Succession after human disturbance
