Fire and Succession

I took this picture while enjoying the amazing weather at the fire pit in my apartment complex. There have been many fires across the country and in our own backyard occupying the news lately. These fires have caused a great deal of damage, but they are also allowing for a new opportunity at secondary succession. Secondary succession, unlike primary succession, occurs after a disturbance such as a fire. Vegetation will again begin to develop in these areas of disturbance. The surviving community left untouched by these fires will have a significant influence on the proceeding development.
