Question
The graph below shows the species richness of a community undergoing secondary succession. The letters R, S, T, and U identify four distinct seres. Answer the questions by identifying the correct sere. Seres can be used as an answer once, more than once, or not at all.

**Graph Description:**

- The graph is a line graph with "Number of Species" on the vertical axis and "Time" on the horizontal axis.
- The curve starts from a low point, rises to a peak, and then declines slightly but remains above the initial level.
- Four stages or seres are labeled along the curve: R, S, T, and U.
  - "R" is at the beginning of the curve, representing the initial rise.
  - "S" is at the peak of the curve.
  - "T" is after the peak, during the decline.
  - "U" is at the end of the curve, where it levels off.

**Questions:**

1. **Which sere is dominated by r-selected species?**
   - **Answer:** R

2. **Which sere shows the EFFECT of strong competition?**
   - **Answer:** T

3. **Which sere is the climax stage?**
   - **Answer:** S
