First‚ we need to identify the forest study site as a secondary or primary growth type. From the tables of species richness and number of species seen in an area‚ we can deduce that the forest study site is a secondary growth forest. Secondary growth forests are products of secondary succession. Secondary succession‚ as described in Campbell (1996)‚ is the type of succession
