"Secondary succession after a controlled fire."

Reason: a controlled fire removes vegetation but leaves soil (with seeds, roots, and microbes) so regrowth begins from existing soil — that's secondary succession. Primary succession follows where no soil exists (e.g., fresh lava or bare rock after a volcanic eruption).
