Lichens and mosses, small herbs and shrubs, pine and spruce, fir and birch. Primary succession refers to the ecological and biological process whereby all life is wiped out because of the events like glaciations.

Succession does not exist it is the work of the holy christ - JESUS

-Wrong, I completely understand your beliefs, however, they need to be updated... everything wasn't created by the magic of Jesus... oh, your belief system doesn't believe in magic does it? Wow, how ironic. walking across water, *poof* magically appeared humankind, snakes talking, take your pick. You need to read up on your own religion is what needs to occur. Not all of it is wrong necessarily, but being ignorant and spouting off things in the name of Jesus.

Various factors cause rocks to break and the smaller rock particles mixed with organic matter (such as disintegrated leaves, animals, etc) air and microbes.

Primary Succession - Succession that begins in an area with no remnants of an older community.

During primary succession, species (known as pioneer species) colonize barren areas. One ecological pioneer that grows on bare rock is lichen-a mutualistic symbiosis between a fungus and alga. Over time, lichens convert, or fix, atmospheric nitrogen into useful forms for other organisms, break down rock, and add organic material to form soil. As lichens add organic matter and form soil, mosses and other plants can colonize and grow. As organic matter continues to accumulate, other species move in and change the environment further. Over time, more and more species can find suitable niches and survive.

  • There is already an existing seed bank of suitable plants in the soil.

  • Root systems undisturbed in the soil, stumps and other plant parts from previously existing plants can rapidly regenerate.

  • The fertility and structure of the soil has also already been substantially modified by previous organisms to make it more suitable for growth and colonization.
