In British English a receipt is a piece of paper that you get in a shop when you buy something, but in American English the more usual term for this is sales slip. I wrote her a receipt for the money.
Primary succession is the series of community changes which occur on an entirely new habitat which has never been colonized before. Examples of such habitats would include newly exposed or deposited surfaces, such as landslips, volcanic lava and debris, elevated sand banks and dunes, quarried rock faces.
In primary succession, bare rock or sand is the substrate upon which the pioneer species act. Primary succession occurs in places that are the result of lava flows or where glaciers have retreated. Soil is not yet present, so no plants or animals can survive in such a region.Pioneer species are the lichens and moss.
