What else can I help you with?
When does primary succession occur?
After a glacier recedes, a volcano erupts, or a strip mine is abandoned.
What kinds of plants grow on rocks?
Plants that grow on rocks are called lithophytes and include species like mosses, lichens, succulents, and certain ferns. These plants have adapted to thrive in harsh conditions with limited soil by obtaining nutrients and water from the rocks they grow on. They are often found in rocky outcrops, cliffs, and other rocky habitats.
Does lichen have roots?
No, lichens do not have roots. Instead, they have a specialized structure called a holdfast that attaches them to the substrate they are growing on. Lichens absorb water and nutrients directly through their surface from the air and rainwater.
What organisms grow on rock or exposed soil?
Mosses and Lichens, and possibly mushrooms
Does algae and lichens grow in polar regions?
So bugs can eat it.
When do lichens grow?
Lichens can grow in various environments, but they typically thrive in cool, damp conditions. They are resilient organisms that can grow year-round, but they often experience optimal growth during the spring and fall seasons when moisture levels are higher. Overall, lichens can be found growing on rocks, trees, and soil in a wide range of habitats worldwide.
What are properties of lichens?
Lichens grow extremely slowly. Lichens are able to survive extreme conditions.
Primary succession?
Plnats grow on rocks like lichens and mosses.
Why the lichens are found in moist places only?
The lichens are not aquatic. They grow on land but they need water to complete their life cycle , without water they cannot survive .so they meant to be amphibian. They grow generally in moist places because in land they don't get specific water for their survival.so,they are found in moist places only. this answer is given by ma.Jugal Bapuso Gaikwad.
How are mosses and lichens alike?

When does primary succession occur?
After a glacier recedes, a volcano erupts, or a strip mine is abandoned.
What kinds of plants grow in the Arctic tundra?
Small, strong plants such as lichens and mosses can grow there.
Why are mosses and lichens sometimes called poineer plants?
Because Lichens and Mosses grow on barren rocks and help in the formation of soil.
What kinds of plants grow on rocks?
Plants that grow on rocks are called lithophytes and include species like mosses, lichens, succulents, and certain ferns. These plants have adapted to thrive in harsh conditions with limited soil by obtaining nutrients and water from the rocks they grow on. They are often found in rocky outcrops, cliffs, and other rocky habitats.
Do lichens grow in water in a desert or in a tundra?
Lichens are a symbiotic (mutualistic) relationship between fungi and a green algae or cyanobacteria. Most often, you'll see them on trees, rocks, fences, etc. There are some great pictures from National Geographic where lichens are growing on granite tombstones. They are unique in that their symbiotic relationship allows them to grow in some extreme environments with little surrounding nutrient sources such as a tundra.
What type of soil do lichens need 2 grow?
dirty soil
