Answer:

Bare soil is exposed, weeds and grasses colonize, perennial plants are established, shrubs appear, trees appear, and forest results

Explanation:

This question describes a secondary succession, which is a colonization that occurs after a natural disaster has caused damage to an ecosystem. In secondary succession, SOIL, is already present, hence, there is rapid initial recolonization by GRASSES AND WEEDS.

The colonization of grasses and weeds is soon followed by the establishment of PERENNIAL PLANTS, after which SHRUBS appear, then TREES until a stable or climax ecosystem of FOREST results.
