The soil profile of the taiga is a lot like the tundra's soil profile. Many places in the taiga have a permanently frozen part of soil. This is also called permafrost. This causes water to not seep through the soil. This causes the ground to be soggy whenever its the summer and spring when it rains. Succession is natural change of the environment. The taiga biome has had a lot of succession happen. You can tell by how much moss it has. Having that much moss and so many big trees shows that succession has happened. Another form of proof is the muskeg or swamp-like areas in the taiga. People believe that these used to be all lakes instead of having land on them. Succession has made balance in the taiga by getting rid of a lot of water that was there. If it was still mostly water, there would not be as many trees in the taiga as there are now.
Secondary succession is exactly like succession, except that this type of succession happens only after a natural disaster or destruction happens. Secondary succession has happened in the taiga biome by all the loggers that have came and left. There are places where trees were totally cut down and destroyed. Trees and plants have started to grow there again.
