Vedclass · Answer

(A) Primary succession in a new area (like bare rock) follows a specific pattern of ecological succession. $1$. The pioneer species are usually lichens,which can grow on bare rock. $2$. Lichens secrete acids to dissolve rock,helping in soil formation,which allows small bryophytes (mosses) to establish. $3$. As soil depth increases,larger plants like pteridophytes (ferns) and eventually shrubs and trees take over. $4$. The final stable community is the climax community,which is typically a forest. Therefore,the correct sequence is: Lichens $\rightarrow$ Bryophytes $\rightarrow$ Pteridophytes $\rightarrow$ Forest community.

$1$. Standing state	$p$. Mass of living material at a given time
$2$. Pioneer species	$q$. Amount of nutrients in the soil at a given time
$3$. Detritivores	$r$. Species that invade a bare area
$4$. Standing crop	$s$. Breakdown detritus into smaller particles

Identify the correct sequence of development of a stable community (climax community) starting from a new area (primary succession).
