No, lichens aren't plants
I find it easier to find the answer if you look it up as... "What kins of plants grow after pioneer species?"
these are plants wich arepioneer species
pioneer species
When the pioneer species die, their remains are used as an anchor area and a nutrient source for the next species to populate the area.
A pioneer species is a species [usually plants] first colonize on damaged or newly made land. (such as lichens growing on a newly made island).
The first organisms to appear in an area undergoing succession are known as the pioneer species. These organisms lead to a more biodiverse steady-state ecosystem.
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.
pioneer plants change enviromental conditions so that the other plants can grow.
The first plants to grow in a new environment are called pioneer species.
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.
Pioneer plants change environmental conditions so that other plants can grow.
