This is called SECONDARY succession. Succession is the process of change in an ecosystem. Also, we need to get out of here!
So PRIMARY succession has no soil while SECONDARY succession has soil?
I forgot to tell you back at the volcano, SECONDARY succession is when after the natural disaster occurs, the ecosystem starts off with plants like the grass here. PRIMARY succession starts off with bare rock/no soil.

You are correct! In this stage, we have the big oak trees. After a few more years, this forest will be completely filled up with trees.
