Question

Differentiate between “Pioneer species; “Climax community” and “Seres”?

Answer 1

These all communities are the part of the living system or life on earth. They all are formed by the events occurring in earth atmosphere by natural calamities or man-made effects.

Complete answer:
PIONEER COMMUNITY

It is the first community that develops in the bare area.
It is also the first biotic or living one.
Community is established over a previously bare area.
The lifespan is very short in this community.
It consists of small sized organisms and living systems.
Due to small size, the growth is very fast in the pioneer community.
CLIMAX COMMUNITY
It is the final community developed in the area.
It occurs over a large part of an area, occupied by several communities before.
The lifespan of a component organism is very long.
The climax is the end of the further development stages, that’s why it is called the climax.
It consists of large as well as small size organisms.
Growth is very slow in this community.
SERE COMMUNITY
Seres are primarily based on the water content of the initial area of their development.
It is the transitional or the changing community that depends on the area development during succession.
The life span is long.
Small sized organisms are present.
Growth rate is highest.
It is one of the fastest developing communities during succession.

Note:
The communities present above depend on the ecological succession period which leads to changes in species structure or community over a period of time. For example, the mass extinction or a wildfire time, it will take millions of years or a decade to form a stable community.
