Question

A fire hits an old forest with large, old trees. a large section of the forest is burnt down. over many years, new, immature trees replace the old ones. how can the new area be characterized?

Answer 1

If the old trees which were burn down are now replaced by new ones, the new area can be characterized as a SECONDARY FOREST. A secondary forest is a disrupted woodland area which has re-grown such that the effects of the disruption are no longer evident.
