Question
From algae to forest, explain in relation with the succession.

Answer

  1. When there is a succession from algae to forest, it depends upon the amount of water available.
  2. The succession begins with small phyto-planktons followed by submerged and free floating and then rooted hydrophytes, sages, grasses and finally the trees.
  3. Similarly, there is also a transformation from a pool of water to swamp then marsh and then mesic which means neither too dry nor too wet conditions.
  4. Then small plants like mosses can inhabit followed by herbs, shrubs and then trees. Such succession ultimately leads to a stable climax forest community.
