Explanation

Secondary succession (=subsere) is the biotic succession that occurs in an area which become secondarily bare due to the destruction of community previously present there. Secondary succession starts from previously built up substrata with already existing living matter. the action of any external force, such as a sudden change in climatic factors, biotic intervention, fire, etc. had resulted in the destruction of previous community. Thus, area became devoid of living matter. The action of any external force, such as a sudden change in climatic fators, biotic intervention, fire etc. had resulted in the destruction or previous comunity. Thus, area became devoid of living of previous community. Thus, area became devoid of living matter but its substratum, instead of primitive, is built up. It has organic matter so is biologically fertile and thus, the successions are comparatively more rapid.
