Answer: The order of the stages of primary succession as seen at glacier bay are Pioneer, Dryas, Alder, and Spruce stages.

Explanation:

Primary succession is the process that plant species use to colonize a sterile habitat. The first living organisms, the pioneer species are hardy species, for example moss that are able to survive in any habitat. These change the unfavorable environment (lava, rock) to soil.

In Glacier bay, Alaska, the dryas came next, providing the soil with Nitrogen, then Alders which maintains the nitrogen content in the soil. This is followed by spruce trees which grow in the the shade of the alder .

kramer

Answer:

The K-T extinction event is the global mass extinction that has taken place about some 65 million years back due to the asteroidal impact. This mass extinction event has wiped almost 75% of the plants and animal species from the earth's surface. The dinosaurs were extinct and very animal species have survived and undergone evolution in due course of time.|

The Cenozoic era started after the K-T mass extinction event, i.e from about 65 million years to the present.

Thus, the Cenozoic era is also known as the age of mammals because mammal were more abundant and diverse then. Many flowering plants evolved during this time and the earth experienced global cooling.
