As an example, secondary succession has been occurring in Shenandoah National Park following the 1995 flood of the Mormon River, which destroyed plant and animal life.

""'Heliconia tortuosa " "'is an herbaceous tropical perennial commonly found in secondary succession in montane forests in Central America and southern Mexico ( Chiapas and Tabasco ).
23.
Succession that begins in new habitats, uninfluenced by pre-existing communities is called primary succession, whereas succession that follows disruption of a pre-existing community is called secondary succession.
24.
Particularly common types of secondary succession include responses to natural disturbances such as fire, flood, and severe winds, and to human-caused disturbances such as logging and agriculture.
25.
In contrast, secondary succession occurs on substrate that previously supported vegetation before an ecological disturbance from smaller things like floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and fires which destroyed the plant life.
26.
The absence of a soil seed bank impedes the establishment of vegetation during primary succession, while presence of a well-stocked soil seed bank permits rapid development of species-rich ecosystems during secondary succession.
27.
It grows in secondary succession in seasonally dry ecosystems in southern Central America, where it exhibits a symbiotic relationship with several species of ant ( " Pseudomyrmex spinicola ", " Pseudomyrmex ferruginea " ).
28.
The results of this study show that, much like in macro succession, early colonization ( primary succession ) is mostly influenced by stochasticity while secondary succession of these bacterial communities was more strongly influenced by deterministic factors.
29.

The effects of secondary succession on soil are strongest in the A-horizon ( 0 10 cm ), where an increase in carbon stock, N, and C / N ratio, and a decrease in bulk density and pH are observed.
