Question

All successions whether taking place in water or on land proceed to a similar climax community which is

• A. Hydric
• B. Xeric
• C. Mesic
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Mesic

Succession that takes place in wetter areas from hydric to the mesic conditions is called hydrarch succession.

Succession that takes place in dry areas from xeric to mesic conditions is called xerarch succession.

Both hydrarch and xerarch successions lead to medium water conditions (mesic) leaving them neither too dry (xeric) nor too wet (hydric).

So the correct option is C.
