Question

Both hydrarch and xerarch successions lead to

• A. Medium water conditions
• B. Excessive wet conditions
• C. Xeric conditions
• D. Highly dry conditions

Answer 1

The correct option is A Medium water conditions

Hydrarch succession takes place in water areas and the successional series progress from hydric to the mesic conditions. As against the xerarch succession takes place in dry areas and series progress from xeric to mesic conditions. Hence, both hydrarch and xerarch succession lead to medium water conditions (mesic)-neither too dry (xeric) nor too wet (hydric).

So, the correct answer is 'Medium water conditions'.
