    Lichen is the pioneer vegetation on which succession?

    A)  Hydrosere                         

    B)  Lithosere

    C)  Psammosere                   

    D)  Xerosere

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The occurrence of relatively definite sequence of            communities over a period of time in the same area is known as ecological succession. Lithosere           is a type of xerosere originating on bare rock      surfaces. The original substratum is deficient in             water and lacks any organic matter having  only                 minerals  in  disintegrated unweathered state.       The pioneer vetegation is, therefore, lichens.             Hydrosere originating in a pond starts with the      colonization of some phytoplanktons which form             the pioneer plant community.
