What does SUBSERE mean in Scrabble?

technical
A secondary ecological succession that begins on a site once covered with vegetation but later disturbed.

Because the soil is already there, a subsere recovers faster than a primary succession on bare rock. Ecologists use the term to describe this interrupted climb towards a mature community.
How SUBSERE is used
A term of plant ecology, used in discussions of succession and recovery.
- The burned heathland began a subsere of grasses and shrubs.
- A subsere followed the abandonment of the old fields.
- Soil seed banks speed up the subsere after a flood.
