Lichens-Grasses-Shrubs-Trees Lichens, Trees, Grasses, Shrubs What is an introduce species and give an example. Species that is brought by rats that are added to island. Please explain why ecological succession is non seasonal. Only happens after a natural disaster Why is the anual burning of praries so important?
