Plant Succession Options

[J Wells]

Crum-

A couple of questions:

1. What effect would warmer global temperatures have on the gowing cycle and abundance of pioneer plants of the tundra (i.e. lichen, moss), and how might it influence primary plant succession on areas exposed due to glacial retreat?

2. What effect would a change in primary and secondary plant sucession have on the animal biodiversity of the region?

Thanks in advance for taking time to respond, and please keep posting those great pictures!
