General KnowledgeBiology
- AMigration, Reaction, Stabilization and Nudation
- BMigration, Stabilization, Reaction and Nudation
- CNudation, Migration, Reaction and Stabilization
- DReaction, Migration, Stabilization and Nudation
Explanation
The stages of ecological succession are: Nudation (creation of a bare area), Migration/invasion (arrival of propagules), Reaction/competition (interaction with the environment), and Stabilization (climax community). This N–M–R–S order is the standard textbook sequence. Hence Nudation, Migration, Reaction, Stabilization.
