An ecosystem has experienced a flood. Which type of plants would you expect to see growing first after the flood?

a) shrubs

B) lichen

C) small annual plants

D) pine and oak trees

The correct answer is C) small annual plants. That is because they are usually successful during times like the spring or fall when there's lot of precipitation, which is similar to flood since there's a lot of water. Lichens wouldn't be found because they're found at places that are clean and floods are usually not clean at all. You would also be able to find some molds and fungi.
