Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Succession begins whenever fire passes. If fire kills trees and removes all the surface organic matter, primarysuccession begins with soil building. Pioneer plants in the boreal forest are liverworts and mosses followed by plants with windblown seeds such as fireweed, grasses, willows, and cottonwoods.
Detailed explanation-2: -Forest ecologists recognize four phases of forest succession, or what is sometimes called forest development. These phases are: (i) stand initiation, (ii) stem exclusion, (iii) understory reinitiation, and (iv) steady state.
