The correct chronological order for the succession of plant species in Glacier Bay starts with lichens, which are among the first organisms to colonize newly exposed rock surfaces. Alders come next, as they can fix nitrogen, improving soil quality for other plants. Finally, spruces, which require more developed soil conditions, establish themselves last.
