17 Succession Natural, gradual changes in the types of species that live in an area; can be primary or secondary. Natural, gradual changes in the types of species that live in an area; can be primary or secondary. Primary – begins in a place without soil Primary – begins in a place without soil Secondary – where soil already exists Secondary – where soil already exists
