Question

The growth of terrestrial plants is supported in the woodland stage.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

In hydrarch succession, the amphibious stage is replaced by the sedge meadow stage which form a mat like vegetation that increases the soil level and organic matter in the extremely shallow water. After the amphibious stage, more and more plants invade the area as the fertility of soil increases from the organic components adding to the soil. This creates the environment supporting growth of larger terrestrial plants forming the woodland stage of succession.
