Answer:

Secondary succession

Step-by-step explanation:

A secondary succession is when a type of disturbance happens when there is already soil present. In this case, it has already started out with a forest (including plants, trees, and wildlife). Other examples of a secondary succession include a wildfire, hurricane, flood, or human destruction.

This is different from a primary succession. A primary succession occurs when there is no soil present.
