Which one of the following is the correct sequence of the phases of biotic succession?

Question

Accepted Answer

Nudation, Migration, Ecessis, Reaction, Stabilization. The correct sequence of the phases of biotic succession is nudation, migration, ecessis, reaction and stabilization. Nudation is development of bare areas in initial prerequisite. Migration starts when germules leave their parent areas and terminates when they reach the final resting place. Ecessis is a process of establishment of immigrants. Reaction essentially involves the changes that are brought in the habitat conditions by the plants themselves. This is the effect of interactions between vegetation and habitat. Continuous competition and reaction bring about several marked changes in the environment and consequently introduce gradual change in the structure of vegetation. Climate at this stage plays primary role in determining the nature of community. This process is called stabilization.
