Answer 1

''A forest fire clearing out trees and underbrush.''

Step-by-step explanation:

A forest fire clearing out trees and underbrush is most likely to result in secondary succession. Secondary succession is the process of ecological succession that occurs after an area of land has been disturbed but has not been completely destroyed. In the case of a forest fire, the soil is still intact and there are still seeds and other organisms present in the area that can begin to grow and repopulate the area. Over time, the area will gradually return to its original state, with a diverse mix of plants and animals.
