What growing conditions in which you would expect to find pioneer plants such as mosses and liverworts?
pioneer plants change enviromental conditions so that the other plants can grow.

What is pioneer plant with diagram?
A pioneer plant is one which will be the species first to inhabit a new, barren environment. For instance if a volcano erupt and produces a lava flood. Once it cools there will be no plants living on it as there will be no soil for them to grow in. The pioneer plants will be the first plants to grow on this barren substrate and they will begin to contribute to new soil formation. Mosses are a good example of a pioneer species.
Fuel as to Fern as what is to byrophytes?
Pioneer Species. Mosses are bryophytes and are often considered a "pioneer species" that will establish itself first in a forest that has been cleared by a forest fire. Ferns and other vascular plants are the "fuel" of the fires and burn out. Then when the forest begins to grow again, the non-vascular plants like the mosses (bryophytes) will grow first.
Are mosses and ferns climax community or pioneer species?
Are mossed and ferns climax community or pioneer species
How could succession take place in a tundra biome?
If we look back at the basics, all that it takes for succesion to occur is a pioneer species. In the tundra, the most common pioneer species is arguably mosses and lichens. Other plants will grow off of the pioneer species.
What is an example of a pioneer plant?
grasses bushes
What are the plants like mosses that are the first to inhabit a barren area?
Pioneer plants, such as mosses, are the first to colonize a barren area. Mosses are well-adapted to harsh conditions with their ability to grow in low-nutrient soils and tolerate extreme temperatures. They help in soil formation, reduce erosion, and provide a foundation for other plant species to establish in the ecosystem.
Is mosses a mechanical or chemical?
Mosses are nonvascular plants.
Are saplings examples of pioneer species?
I don't think so because in my science text book it states that mosses and lichens are the first organisms to start growing in an environment again and pioneer species have to be the first species to arrive. After the mosses grow then die decaying matter builds up on them and other plants can grow. Hope this helped :)
What organism are usually the pioneer species in new area?
mosses and lichens
What was the first plants?
That is a good question. Plants evolved from the charophycean lineage of green algae. Most likely the first plants were liverworts or mosses.
