13. G.2.7 Outline the changes in species diversity and production during primary succession. (2) Here is one example of primary succession. Often the only life forms present are autotrophic bacteria. Lichens and mosses grow from windblown spores. Soil develops gradually as rocks weather and organic material accumulates.
