Question
some ranchers use controlled fires to rid their grazing lands of unwanted plants. these ranchers keep their land in early stages of succession and in a state of equilibrium that is best for their livestock. which of these kinds of plants would most likely be some of the first plants found growing in a pasture after fire? f trees g grasses h ferns j mosses f g h j
After a fire, ecological succession begins. Grasses are pioneer species in secondary succession (after disturbances like fire) as they grow quickly, have seeds that can germinate easily in disturbed soil, and are adapted to early - stage recovery. Trees are later - stage species, ferns and mosses are more typical of primary succession or later in secondary succession compared to grasses in a pasture (grazing land) context.
