  1. Bare rock is exposed due to some type of disturbance like a retreating glacier or volcanic eruption. No soil is present. Organisms are driven away or killed by some type of disturbance, like a forest fire, leaving behind only the soil. Pioneer species, like lichens and mosses, establish themselves on the rock substrate. Small and Large trees begin to grow, and the community reaches an equilibrium or balance. This results in a climax community. Pioneer species help provide soil and nutrients for other plant species like shrubs and small trees. Some pioneers species are replace or outcompeted by other species like shrubs and small trees. Pioneer species, like grasses and weeds, begin to grow from the soil. Roots and seeds left over may also begin to grow again. Small and Large trees begin to grow, and the community reaches an equilibrium or balance. This results in a climax community.

  3. Bare rock is exposed due to some type of disturbance like a retreating glacier or volcanic eruption. No soil is present. Pioneer species, like lichens and mosses, establish themselves on the rock substrate. Pioneer species die and decay, providing soil and nutrients for other plant species like shrubs and small trees. Small and Large trees begin to grow, and the community reaches an equilibrium or balance. This results in a climax community. Primary Succession: The establishment of new community where none existed before.

Roots and seeds left over may also begin to grow again. Some pioneers species die and are replace or outcompeted by other species like shrubs and small trees. Small and Large trees begin to grow, and the community reaches an equilibrium or balance. This results in a climax community. Secondary Succession: The reestablishment of community following disturbance.
