Question

The succession of both hydrarch and xerarch leads to

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

Answer 1

The correct option is C Medium water conditions

Xerarch and hydrarch successions are series of developmental stages in arid area and water bodies. Biotic succession in both arid area and water body leads to long lived plants, greater species diversity, niche specialisation, increase in biomass, higher soil humus, food webs, stable biotic community and mesic conditions (medium water content).

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
