Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process in which the mosses change the environment and make it possible for other types of plants to establish themselves is called facilitation. Therefore, the best choice is B. Sublimation refers to the transformation of a substance from a solid phase directly to a gaseous phase, without passing through an intermediate liquid phase. Regeneration refers to the regrowth or reformation of tissue or a body that has been lost or damaged. Improvisation refers to the act of creating or performing something spontaneously or without preparation. None of these options are relevant to the situation described in the question.
