The best answer would be "research reasons why species change over long periods of time"
if not i apologize but this is my best guess<span />
Youngest to oldest would be: 3, 4, 1, 5, 2. Since it's from the bottom, the ones furthest from the bottom would be the youngest at the top. The oldest fossils would be closest to the bottom.
Answer:
Primary succession is one type of the ecological succession which takes place on the land devoid of vegetation or barren land.
The species which first flourishes on this barren land are known as pioneer species which includes the species of bryophytes and pteridophytes like lichens and mosses.
These lichens and mosses help breakdown the barren rocks through chemical leaching and help increase the nutrient content. This allows the ferns and small pteridophytes to grow.
Then the area is colonized by the intermediate species which includes herbs, shrubs later trees. These intermediate species help attract the animals and thus help establish the biological community.
Thus, Lichens mosses → herbs→ shrubs →trees.
