What rhymes with secondary succession?
sec·onda·ry suc·ces·sion

Secondary succession is one of the two types of ecological succession of plant life. As opposed to the first, primary succession, secondary succession is a process started by an event that reduces an already established ecosystem to a smaller population of species, and as such secondary succession occurs on preexisting soil whereas primary succession usually occurs in a place lacking soil. Simply put, secondary succession is the succession that occurs after the initial succession has been disrupted and some plants and animals still exist. It is usually faster than primary succession as: ⁕Soil is already present, so there is no need for pioneer species; ⁕Seeds, roots and underground vegetative organs of plants may still survive in the soil.
