Explanation:

Secondary succession occurs in an area where a disturbance has destroyed an existing community but left the soil intact. Here, the agricultural fields (a disturbed community) with existing soil grew back into forests, which is secondary succession. Climax community is a stable final stage of succession. Primary succession occurs on bare rock or areas with no soil. Coevolution is the reciprocal evolution of two or more species. Niche realization is about an organism's use of resources and space.
