Answer 1

Secondary succession occurs after a disturbance in a previously inhabited area. Pioneer species appear first in this type of succession.

Step-by-step explanation:

Secondary succession occurs in a formerly inhabited area that was disturbed, unlike primary succession that occurs in an area that has never before been colonized. It is a process in which a community changes over time after a disturbance such as a flood, fire, or abandonment of an agricultural field. Pioneer species, such as grasses, appear first in secondary succession where the habitat was previously destroyed.
