The lichens show mutualism and they are found in every biome of the Earth. The lichens have algae and fungus associated with them and they live in a mutualistic relationship with each other. Lichens can grow on soil where no other species can grow like rocks, barren soils and they enrich the soil on dying where other plants and trees can grow.

Lichens being pioneer species change the environment by building up the soil and liberating nutrients. Also the lichens contribute to the chemical weathering of the soil releasing phosphate along with erosion and weather conditions.

When the simple plants die, the wildflowers and other plants start growing replacing lichens or mosses.

From the above explanation it can be concluded that lichens alter the abiotic environment and favor other species of plants to grow by breaking down rocks from soil and providing nutrients.

lana [24]

Answer:

Ox so it was cheese doodles night...She looked at her little girl who was about to become a teen. She tried to think back to when the girl had been younger but failed to pinpoint the exact moment when she had become a little too big to pick up and carry. It hit her all at once. She was no longer a little girl and she stood there speechless with fear, sadness, and pride all running through her at the same time.

The computer wouldn't start. She banged on the side and tried again. Nothing. She lifted it up and dropped it to the table. Still nothing. She banged her closed fist against the top. It was at this moment she saw the irony of trying to fix the machine with violence.

The trees, therefore, must be such old and primitive techniques that they thought nothing of them, deeming them so inconsequential that even savages like us would know of them and not be suspicious. At that, they probably didn't have too much time after they detected us orbiting and intending to land. And if that were true, there could be only one place where their civilization was hidden.

umka2103 [35]
<span>Hemostasis is the process of the body that seals blood vessels that rupture. The process is basically starts with an injury, then vascular spasm, platelet plug formation and then coagulation. 

During blood clot formation, blood is transformed into solid gel at site of damage, where plasma fibrinogen is converted into loose fibrin molecules, which bind together to form mesh. Platelets and blood cells get trapped here by the fibrin strands, which produces a clot. This part of the clot formation is called coagulation.
