The species composition of each stage varies with the chemical nature of the rock, the pre- vailing climate, and the locality. In the first stage, various kinds of lichens com- pete for a foothold, but crustose types usually pre- cede foliaceous types. Mosses and such fruticose lichens as Cladonia follow foliaceous lichens; or may initiate the sere, telescoping the earlier lichen stages (Keever, Costing, and Anderson 1951)
