How do pioneer species facilitate future species of succession?
Chapter 18:
How do pioneer species facilitate future species of succession?
What stage of succession would you expect the highest animal diversity? Explain whyY?
Explain why species that occur early in succession would have a large number of small-wind driven seeds that can be viable for many years, as well as fast shoot growth, and low shade tolerance?
How do facilitation and inhibition change the pace of succession and or communities that develop during succession?
How can fire frequency or animal grazing intensity contribute to alternative stable states in an ecosystem?

Answer 1.
Species from the pioneer era are tough. They are the first species to be documented colonising either previously biodiverse steady-state ecosystems that have been disturbed or arid environments, as their name suggests (for instance by fire).
"Pioneer species are creatures that are especially equipped to colonise the dead, desolate regions and form an ecological community."
