False.

Ecological succession can be triggered by natural events (volcanic eruptions, glacial retreat, wildfires) or by human activities (deforestation, agriculture, mining, urban development). Primary succession follows the colonization of newly formed or exposed substrates; secondary succession follows disturbances that leave soil intact.
