Both hydrarch and xerarch successions lead to
A
Highly dry conditions
B
Excessive wet conditions
C
Medium water conditions
D
Xeric conditions
Detailed Solution
Hydrarch succession takes place in wet areas, and the successional series progresses from hydric to mesic conditions.
Xerarch succession takes place in dry areas, and the series progresses from xeric to mesic conditions.
Thus both hydrarch and xerarch successions lead to medium water conditions (mesic), neither too dry (xeric) nor too wet (hydric).
The climax community in both cases is a mesic forest.
Hence both lead to medium water conditions.
Xerarch succession takes place in dry areas, and the series progresses from xeric to mesic conditions.
Thus both hydrarch and xerarch successions lead to medium water conditions (mesic), neither too dry (xeric) nor too wet (hydric).
The climax community in both cases is a mesic forest.
Hence both lead to medium water conditions.
