A volcano erupts and creates a brand-new island of bare rock. What type of succession begins when there is no soil left?

These are the tiny "mouths" or openings on the bottom of a leaf that open and close to let the plant breathe in Carbon Dioxide and release oxygen.

Phenotype
This is the maximum number of individuals an ecosystem can support before it runs out of food and water."
