Answer 1

False
The definition given is of primary succession. Primary succession is carried out in order to reclaim land that is not suitable for organisms to grow on. This is carried out using pioneer species, organisms that are able to survive in infertile soil. Secondary succession occurs after this, where other species that require more fertile soil are planted .
