-Most of these plants are considered as **weeds**; and they make their living ass pioneer species: tough sundependent, fatgrowing and short lived.These early colonists invade bare or depleted soils. where one of there rolls is to accumulate nutrients in their roots and leaves. Each fall these plants die and rot, pumping a fat load of minerals into the soil. The enriched earth is then ready  for the next successionary phase of less emphemerial, more fastidious plants such as perennial herbs, shrubs and trees.
-succession is the progression from bare earth to short annual weeds to perennials.
-One can intercrop nutrient accumulaors in between one's crops or cover bare aerth for two years with nutrient acuumulotots before planting fruittrees etc.
