The species that invade a bare area are called pioneer species.
These are the first organisms to colonize previously uninhabited or disturbed environments, such as bare rocks or cleared land. Pioneer species are hardy and adaptable, helping to create conditions that allow other species to establish later, leading to ecological succession. Examples include certain types of mosses, lichens, and grasses.
