What is the correct order of changes during primary succession?

• Climax community, consumers, producers, pioneer species

• Soil, producers, consumers, climax community

• Lichens → Shrubs → Grasses → Trees

• Lichens → tree → shrubs→Grasses

• Grasses → Lichens → Shrubs → Trees

• Lichens → Grasses → Shrubs → Trees

Why is nitrogen limited when the atmosphere is 78% nitrogen?

• It isn't limited

• Not many organisms can fix nitrogen, which means turn it into a useful form

• Nitrogen is so light that it floats above the rest of the gases in the atmosphere and most organisms can reach it
