Says Wikipedia:
Pioneer species are hardy species which are the first to colonize previously disrupted or damaged ecosystems, beginning a chain of ecological succession that ultimately leads to a more biodiverse steady-state ecosystem.
We are grateful for the pioneer species that have decided to grow roots among our farmers.
