There are many different factors that may play a role into a succession event. However, the most common sequence of returning plants during a succession are as follows:

- during the stages of primary succession, pioneer microorganisms such as bacteria (e.g. Rhizobium) will allow a quick regeneration of the damage soil. Soon after, small plants such as lichens and mosses will appear. This plants will have to adapt to some extreme conditions, due to the lack of minerals in soil, but in due time will thrive.

- a grassy stage, predominantly of small size shrubs, and small trees will follow.

- next, small trees will stablish themselves, allowing for other animals to build in particular niches.  

- eventually small animals (most likely small herbivores) will move into the new ecosytem, promoting different mineral cycles (carbon for example), and at the same time allow for other higher animals (secondary consumers) to have  the food they need.

- once the ecosystem is stablished, it is said to have become a climax community.
