Secondary succession occurs in areas where a disturbance has removed most or all of the species living in the previous ecological community but has left behind rich soil. This is what happens when farmland is left unattended for a season. Some species from the previous community may remain and recolonize the area after the disturbance, while others may be completely eliminated. What are some examples of secondary succession?
