Question

Which of the following is a correct trend of succession in hydroseric succession?

• A. Rooted submerged $\to$ Phytoplankton $\to$ Reed swamp $\to$ Sedge meadow
• B. Phytoplankton $\to$ Reed swamp $\to$ Rooted submerged $\to$ Sedge meadow
• C. Phytoplankton $\to$ Sedge medow $\to$ Reed swamp $\to$ Root submerged
• D. Phytoplankton $\to$ Rooted submerged $\to$ Reed swamp $\to$ Sedge meadow

Answer 1

The correct option is D Phytoplankton $\to$ Rooted submerged $\to$ Reed swamp $\to$ Sedge meadow

Hydroseric succession starts in the water bodies, which are newly formed. The sequence would be phytoplanktons $\to$ rooted submerged plants $\to$ reed swamp and finally sedge meadow.
