Algae. These pioneer species don't need much to survive, therefore, common pioneer species are bacterial organisms and fungi.

<u>Answer</u>: Algae

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • <em>Primary</em> succession is the type of succession which occurs in an area which was previously unoccupied and thus, has no formed soiled substratum.
  • A <em>pioneer</em> species is the one which are the first to colonise an area.
  • Now, when the primary succession has to take place, species like orchids, pineapple trees and sugar cane cannot be pioneer species as they require a nutrient rich and well developed soil substratum for their growth.
  • However, species like algae are very <em>hardy</em> and can begin their growth on nutrient deficient place with the available moisture. These can easily survive in a hostile environment and further pave the way for higher species and increase the diversity of a region.

Thus,<em> in areas where lava no longer flows and primary succession has to take place, only algae can be the pioneer species.</em>

Answers;

Tend to contain more broadleaf evergreen trees


Compared with deciduous forests, coniferous forests end to contain more broadleaf evergreen trees.

Explanation;

A coniferous forest has trees like evergreens, they never lose their leaves and they are always green.

A deciduous forest is a forest where the leaves on the trees do turn colors and eventually fall of in the fall and winter.

Coniferous forests are found in colder climates, in fact the further north you go the less deciduous trees you will find. This also holds true for hot climates. Coniferous trees have evolved needles and thick sap so they lose less moisture to the elements while deciduous trees are usually located in areas of abundant moisture.
