Ecological Succession

Paul Andersen describes the process of ecological succession.  During this process life reestablished itself after a disturbance.  During primary success all of the material is removed including the soil.  For example during a volcanic eruption all traces of life are removed.  However during secondary success the soil remains intact.  An example of secondary success is wildfires.
