Pioneer species in primary succession are small -- no soil!

Pioneer species in secondary succession grow quickly and disperse a lot of seeds.

Reproducing slowly would not be a helpful characteristic for pioneer species in either kind of succession.

They don't whine like little babies about the environment. Not small and reproduce fast.
