The correct sequence for a lithosere or xerosere succession starts with the crustose lichen stage, which can colonize bare rock, followed by foliose lichens that require a bit more soil to grow, then mosses which build upon the slight soil development, followed by herbs, shrubs, and finally climaxing in a forest stage. This sequence reflects the gradual buildup of soil and organic matter, allowing for more complex plant communities to establish over time.
