The '''pioneer glasstalk''' replaced its ancestor, the [[Groovy Glasstalk|groovy glasstalk]]. It has developed large strong roots which it uses to break apart even the most tough soil. Its major success lies in its roots which allow for the growth of the nitrogen fixing microbe called the nixus. It has developed a symbiotic relationship with the nixus by creating nodules for them to grow in and in return the nixus produces a nitrogen compound that helps the pioneer glasstalk grow. When the pioneer glasstalk dies the fixed nitrogen is released making it available to other desert flora and this helps to fertilize the arid sand. In addition as the pioneer glasstalk not only spreads nixus to new biomes but [[nitritus]], [[nitratus]] and [[denitritus]], thus completing the nitrogen cycle in barren biomes.
