What is the types of organisms that are usually the pioneer species in primary succession?
Lichens
What kind of succession occurs after a glacier recedes?
The four stages of succession that occur after a glacier recedes are lichens, mosses, grasses, and trees. Each stage building upon the last.
What type of plant grows in a succession?
Succession involves all plant species in one way or another. All species can be classified into a level of succession. the first level of succession is known as primary. This tends to be when mosses, lichens, fungi and grasses colonise an area of disturbed soil or land. this over time produces more organic matter and nutrients which allows secondary succession (Bushes and slightly bigger plants) to grow. Again with time this provides the right conditions for the final level of succession known as Climax. Climax tends to be a forest habitat.
Why are lichens especially well adapted to play the role of organisms in an ecological succession?
Lichens and mosses get mostly replaced by larger plant species during succession because, larger plants compete for resources like space, sunlight, and soil nutrients more succesfully, than moss and lichens.
When does primary succession occur?
After a glacier recedes, a volcano erupts, or a strip mine is abandoned.

Lichens

How did organisms arrive to start secondary succession 70-100?
Algea and fungi grew and together produced lichens that were the first organisms during this succession. This prepared the area for further growth.
Which parts of the ecosystem had to be establishes before the primary succession could occur?
The parts of the ecosystem that had to be established before the primary succession shown in the transparency could occur is the lichens, rocks and soil...also that the mosses, ferns, shrubs, and grasses are parts of the primary succession.
What do musk?
They eat willows, lichens and grasses.

What is the second stage of primary succession?
More plants begin to grow. (Inetrmediate Community- Small plants, Lichens, Grasses, Shrubs, Poplar, Pine, Willow Trees. Etc.) Hope this helped you! :)
What are the pioneer organisms on a bare rock?
Either lichens,legumes,grasses,or hemlock trees
Why are lichens especially well adapted to play the role of organisms in an ecological succession?
Lichens and mosses get mostly replaced by larger plant species during succession because, larger plants compete for resources like space, sunlight, and soil nutrients more succesfully, than moss and lichens.
Do muske eat muske?
They eat willows, lichens and grasses.
Do eat musk oxen?
They eat willows, lichens and grasses.
Why is a lichen most likely to be a pioneer species?
lichens are called pioneer organisms because they are the first type of organisms that started to live in a certain forest or such. For example, If a volcanic island were to appear in the middle of the ocean. It is devoid of life at first. Certain organisms will land on the island either by washing up on the volcanic ash or land on it after being carried by the wind currents. One of these organisms would be a lichen. Lichens are considered pioneer because they will begin to destroy the rock and ash producing soil. They can survive because a lichen is a mutualistic relationship between a fungus and an algae. Once these lichens have done their work other organisms will appear, bacteria, algae, various grasses, etc. This is called ecological succession.
