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.
For a introduced species to be invasive species, there needs to be certain characteristics of the species.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>
Invasive species are the species that belong to some other place and are introduced to a new place by means of any human interference. But many species are often transferred from one place to another. But not all of them remain there as an invasive species. This is because for being an invasive species, they need to have certain characteristics:
A. They need to have high rate of reproduction.
B. They need to have short dormancy periods.
C. They need to have high generic variability.
D. They need to be polyphagous and gregarious.
E. They need to have high dispersal rate and great adaptability.
F. They need to have phenotypic plasticity.
