mosses wildflowers hardwood trees evergreen shrubs
I gave my students this multiple choice question: A volcano erupts and covers the surrounding area with lava and volcanic ash. As the ecosystem begins to recover, which type of plant will most likely be the first to colonize land in the area surrounding the eruption?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- mosses
- wildflowers
- hardwood trees
- evergreen shrubs

Could you tell me which one is correct?

mosses
