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.
The stages in ecological succession. The changes that take place during any form of succession depend on a variety of environmental factors, such as the amount of moisture, temperature, and wind. One possible scenario for primary succession might begin with the appearance of simple plants, such as lichens and mosses. Such plants are able to spring up in tiny cracks in the rocks in which water and dissolved minerals collect.
