Which of the following is the correct order of ecological succession?
A
grass-shrubs-lichens-trees
B
lichens-shrubs-grasses-trees
C
lichens-grasses-shrubs-trees
D
grasses-lichens-shrubs-trees
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lichens(Pioneers community)→ Mosses→ Annual grasses → Perennial grasses → Shrubs → Trees(Climax community).

Detailed explanation-2: -I-bare rocks, II-pioneers (mosses, lichen, algae, fungi), III-annual herbaceous plants, IV-perennial herbaceous plants and grasses, V-shrubs, VI-shade intolerant trees, VII-shade tolerant trees.

Detailed explanation-3: -The 5 Stages of Succession are Nudation, Invasion, Competition and Co-action, Reaction, and Climax or Stabilization. At the same location, a succession of biotic communities naturally emerges one after another until the Climax stage is reached. In their early stages, biotic communities develop slowly.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ecological succession is the process by which the mix of species and habitat in an area changes over time. Gradually, these communities replace one another until a “climax community”-like a mature forest-is reached, or until a disturbance, like a fire, occurs. Ecological succession is a fundamental concept in ecology.

Detailed explanation-5: -Nudation. Invasion. Competition and Reaction. Stabilization. 23-Nov-2021
