Plankons, fungi, bacteria, lichens etc. are the pioneer species of ecological succession.

The pioneers in ecological succession establish the place for further higher level of succession in hydrosere, xerosere.

Algae, fungi, bacteria, lichens colonize on the bare rocks and provide organic materials for further higher level of colonization, while the plankons i.e., phytoplankons, zooplankons provide base at the shallow water for further higher levels of succession in hydrosere. Thank you
