Ecological succession starts with producers, which create the base of the food web by producing energy via photosynthesis. Primary consumers feed directly on producers, so they colonize next. Secondary consumers rely on primary consumers as a food source, followed by tertiary consumers, which are top predators that require an established lower food web to support them.
