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
After a fire, ecological succession begins. Pioneer species in secondary succession (after a disturbance like fire) that are adapted to grow quickly and colonize disturbed areas, especially for grazing lands, are typically grasses. Grasses have rapid growth, can tolerate open and disturbed environments, and are ideal for livestock grazing. Trees are later - stage succession plants, ferns and mosses are less likely to be the first in a pasture (grazing - oriented) after fire compared to grasses.
