CHARACTERISTICS OF CLIMAX COMMUNITY (EQUILIBRIUM) SPECIES

large body size

few offspring per generation

one generation per season/yr

reduced competition

K-selective species

Remember that the CLIMAX COMMUNITY is the end-point of the successional process. It represents a self-perpetuating, stable assemblage of organisms (primarily referenced in terms of the plant community present), and undergoes little change over long periods of time with respect to species compositions. The species assembled together are very complimentary, they do not directly compete for same resource at same time. The degree of their niche overlap is minimized.
