What is the major difference between Primary and Secondary Succession
Primary Succession does not end in Climax Community
Primary starts on Volcanoes; Secondary starts after fires
Secondary Succession already has soil in place
Primary Succession already has soil in place
Secondary succession does not end in Climax Community
