Primary succession starts off with the modification of a previously unoccupied area along with increasing variation- this occurs in barren areas devoid of life like sand dunes, and lava flows. Communities in a primary succession include:

-barren rock

-bacteria and fungi

-mosses and lichen

Further Explanation:

Succession involves small scale changes within a community that occur repeatedly over the life of that community.

Ecological communities are highly dynamic- they gradually evolve. Typically their progression involves:

colonizing species exploiting uninhabited areas (Primary succession)
becoming a habitable and increasingly complex community

there is increased diversity of organisms (Secondary)

The makeup of biological communities is crucial to defining Primary and Secondary succession; eventually, through changes in this makeup, a steady-state or equilibrium is reached called a climax community. While Primary succession starts off with the modification of a previously unoccupied area along with increasing variation; secondary succession begins after major disruption in the community such as fires, storms and flooding.

However, the process of becoming a climax community can be pretty complicated- it is very dependent on other factors like temperature and rainfall. Communities that experience rapid change, frequent major disruptions and even human intervention, are less likely to attain a stable equilibrium and may never become climax communities.
