- The Forest Matured but now there's a Fire! Oh no! This unfortunate event marks the beginning of Secondary Succession.

- The same process with primary succession happens again, but this time the grass grows first without the need for slowly developing soil from the rock and lichens. The soil was already thick from the well-developed, mature forest, and a majority of that soil stayed, which made it easy for the first grasses to appear, and then the shrubs and trees, and so on. The result of the Second succession will be the same as the primary, and the forest over hundreds of years will develop and make home to a plethora of animal species. Happy Ending!
