In the context of ecological succession, classify cach example as facilitation, inhibition, or tolerance. 1) Facilitation Inhibition Tolerance Anawer Bank Lichens can sarvive on bare rock surfaces where rooted plants cannot live. The deep shade under mature heech trees koeps birch tree seeds from sprouting. The demse rocts of cogon grass outcompete other grases for water and nutricnts. Plant roces growing in cracks in hare nock assist with soil formation. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria in alder roots increase the soil'snitrogen content. Ouks can sprout and grow in the dim light under pines and hirches.
