Primary Succession

Real World Example

Imagine moving into a brand-new house with completely empty rooms, where you need to start from scratch to make it feel like home. This situation is similar to the process of primary succession, where barren land is initially colonized by pioneer organisms, much like how you start by adding essential furniture to your empty rooms. Just as the first pieces of furniture create the foundation for a comfortable living space, pioneer organisms like lichens and mosses lay the groundwork for other species to thrive, gradually transforming the barren landscape into a thriving ecosystem.
