Secondary Succession or Plagio Climax

The progression of plant communities occurring on areas where there has been previous vegetation (destroyed by fire, farming, or

other).

•Tropical Rain ForestThe forest "creates"

the rainfall through the process of transpiration. When the trees are removed, the rainfall stops. The land then becomes arid. The resulting new climax community is often desert shrubs

•Abandoned Farms

Examples

Halosere

The series of communities succeeding one

another, from the pioneer stage to the climax, and commencing in salt water

or on saline soil.

Examples•Alnmouth, Northumberland
