Solution

Hydrarch Succession Xerarch Succession
This kind of succession takes place in areas where the water content is very high as a result the plants grow in the availability of too much water. Thus, the plants have a tendency to develop so as to minimize water usage. Thus we can state that the plants replace from hydric to the mesic condition. This succession mainly occurs in the areas where there is a scarcity of water, as a result, plants develop so as to conserve water. Thus, the plants change from xeric to the mesic condition.
