Which one of the following statements is correct for secondary succession?

1. (a) It begins on a bare rock.
2. (b) It occurs on a deforested site.
3. (c) It follows primary succession.
4. (d) It is similar to primary succession except that it has a relatively fast pace.

Correct answer: (b) It occurs on a deforested site.

Solution

Secondary succession happens after a disturbance in an area that previously supported life, so soil is already present. A deforested site fits this pattern, whereas bare rock describes primary succession.
