Answer:

Some differences between primary and secondary succession are:

-Secondary succession happens on a previously existing community that has been cleared.

Another difference would be:

-Pioneer species for secondary succession are adapted differently- they grow quickly, can disperse quickly and have a short life span

And finally:

-Primary succession develops a new community from scratch

Not sure if you were looking for this, sorry if this is not correct.
