A pioneer species is a species that is first to establish itself in an area where nothing is growing-or in an area that has been devastated by fire,flood, plowing etc. These species are usually annuals, disappearing after the second year when perennials take over.
Pioneer species are species which colonize previously uncolonized land, usually leading to ecological succession.
Pioneer species are often grasses such as marram grass, which grows on sand dunes. In more rocky and damp conditions, they are usually lichen, and small ephemeral bunchgrasses and wildflowers in crevices.
The plants, or anything that has the system of a plant, to be specially to the extremes that may be experienced, and once they have modified the environment may be out-competed by less specific plants, eventually leading to a climax community.
