Here are some pics of succession taking place in North Texas:

This lichen is slowly breaking down this rock into sediments, for the creation of soil in the future.

This forest was just burnt down, it will soon return to it's normal state with succession.

This tree sapling was found growing in the middle of a plain, thanks to succession!

After humans cleared out this forest, secondary succession began to take place.

This grass is the starting of a new forest!
