A good example of primary succession takes place after a volcano has erupted.

If there is no gross disturbance of a virgin site for a relatively long period then primary succession takes place.

First the insects will return, followed by the birds, and then the mammals; this is referred to as primary succession.

A primary succession describes those plant communities that occupy a site that has not previously been vegetated.

Hydrosere is the primary succession sequence which develops in aquatic environments such as lakes and ponds.

Nitrogen supplies are limited in new soils, and nitrogen-fixing species tend to play an important role early in primary succession.
