Short note on :Succession in aquatic habitat.

Answer»

1. In aquatic habitats the pioneer species in primary succession are the small phytoplankton. 

2. Phytoplankton are replaced by rooted- submerged plants (e.g. Hydrilla), rooted- floating angiosperms (e.g. Lotus) followed by free-floating plants (e.g.Pistia), then reed swamp (e.g. Typha), marshmeadow (e.g. Cyperus), scrub (e.g. Alnus) and finally the trees (e.g. Quercus) in a very systematic and gradual way. 

3. The climax again would be a forest. With passage of time, the water body is converted into land.
