After an extreme disturbance, what kind of organisms move into the area first?

Pioneer species, such as bacteria and lichens, are the first organisms to colonize an area after an extreme disturbance.

Pioneer species, such as lichens and bacteria, are the first organisms to colonize an area after an extreme disturbance. They help in breaking down bare rock and forming soil, paving the way for more complex plant life and biodiversity. Over time, this leads to ecological succession, transforming the environment into a more diverse habitat.
