Succession is when an organisms is present and alter the environment in some way they gradually replace other speices
Secondary succession: Secondary succession is when land has plant life growth and animals but that area has gone through some kind of natural disaster that kills some plant life but still manages to have a positive impact on the ecosystem managing to create new growth, example a forest gets burned by a forest fire but because of the open space more sunlight is able to reach new plants for them to thrieve also some plants like to grow in ash!
Humans clear land from forestry, agriculture, spread of urban areas, and highways and parking lots
some animals adapt to man made environment because their environment has been over taken by our communities making it so they are able to live in our environment
