Question

What is the role of the pioneer species that appear first in the

ecological succession of the burned forest?
Select one
The pioneer species prevent new fires from starting in the forest
The pioneer species prevent other species of plants from invading the area
The pioneer species mutate into new species that are resistant to forest fires
The pioneer species colonize and modify the forest floor allowing other species
to invade the area

Answer 1

The pioneer species colonize and modify the forest floor allowing other species to invade the area

Step-by-step explanation:

Pioneer species have a key role in helping an ecosystem start back up and grow. The pioneer species in this case (small perennial plants and flowers in secondary succession) allow animals and other organisms to start living there because there is now food for them to eat.
