What is the role of a pioneer species in primary succession?
kiruha [24]

Pioneer species are the first plants to colonize the land after primary succession, which means they are very primitive and can survive without soil. Since there is no soil, their role is to create soil for more advanced organisms to survive in the area in the future.

Bad White [126]

Answer:

Transition

Explanation:

Secondary succession occurs when the existing vegetation is removed by some disturbances and soil is already present in the region to support the growth of new species. During succession, the early species are being replaced by later successional species.

In the given example, the forest has patches of early species and later species. This means that the forest is in the transition period of succession where early species were not completely replaced by the new species. Once the early species will be removed and the climax community develops, the forest has reached the final stage of succession.
