The regrowth of a forest after a devastating fire is an example of what process? a primary succession b secondary succession c tertiary succession d intermediate succession

Answer 1

The regrowth of a forest after a devastating fire is an example of **b) secondary succession**. Secondary succession occurs in environments where a disturbance has cleared an area but left the soil and some biological legacy intact, allowing for a relatively quicker recovery of the ecosystem compared to primary succession, which starts from bare rock or lifeless terrain.
