A pioneer species is: A The first organism to arrive in a new area B An organism that traveled to the western US during the gold rush. C The first organism to arrive during primary succession. D A large tree. Notes: Primary Succession • Succession: the predictable series of changes in a community following a disturbance • Primary succession: disturbance eliminates all vegetation and/or soil life • Pioneer species: the first species to arrive in a primary succession area (i.e., lichens)
