climax community

A Dictionary of Plant Sciences | 1998 | | Copyright

climax community (climax vegetation) The final stage of a plant succession, in which vegetation reaches a state of equilibrium with the environment. The community is self-perpetuating, except that changes may occur very slowly and over a time-scale that is extensive compared with the rapid and dramatic changes during the early stages of succession. See also CLIMAX THEORY.
