In much of North America the deciduous forest is itself climax vegetation. This is what the forest will develop into in its last stage (climax). Earlier stages are annual grasses, then perennial weeds and grasses, then progressively larger plants including bushes and shrubs. Eventually, trees will grow, barring any natural disaster such as fire or a hurricane. Lastly, deciduous trees such as maple, birch and oak are the climax vegetation. Depending on the climate and latitude, evergreen trees may be the climax vegetation for some regions.
The climax stage is the stage of the ecological succession in which the community of an ecosystem becomes stable and does not undergo significant changes. In the climax community practically all ecological niches are explored and greater biodiversity is possible. In this stage the biomass, the photosynthesis rate and the cellular respiration reach their maximum levels and thus the net primary production (NPP = organic material made by the producers - organic material consumed in the cellular respiration of the producers) tends to zero. At the climax the amount of oxygen released by photosynthesis is practically equal to the oxygen consumed by respiration. (This is one more reason why it is wrong to say that the Amazon Rainforest, an ecosystem at climax stage, is "the lung" of the earth. Other reasons are: lungs are not producers of oxygen; the algae and cyanobacteria of the phytoplankton are the main producers of the molecular oxygen of the planet.)
Where a dune has stopped growing and over time, through salinisation and waterlogging, the dune morphs into a glass block.
Climax ecosystems are ecosystems that have become stabilized by predominance of one competing organism/species
Which best describes a climax community?
It remains until the environment changes.
I'm pretty sure it's the Deciduous Forest. Hope that helps!
Temperate Deciduous Forest
Major Vegetation types of world-examples(A) Vegetation of Cold Latitudes & High mountains,Arctic Tundra(B) Vegetation of Temperate Zones(C) Steppe & Savannas(D) Tropical rain forest(E) Tropical deciduous & Scrub forest
there are air,water,and soil are some abiotic factors in a deciduous forest
A deciduous forest is inhabited by trees that seasonally shed their leaves. Some crops that grow in this forest are figs, sugar apples, guavas and peaches.
mixed forest, deciduous and coniferous
It is its deciduous :)
good and nice and beautiful
mid-latitude deciduous forest
Deciduous forest are often noted for their great hiking views, because of the variance in vegetation. Hunting is also a popular activity in deciduous forests.
The Deciduous Oak/Hickory (AKA hardwood) Forest ( :
The final stage of succession when the plant community remains relatively stable and unchanging. at the climax, the vegetation is balance with existing environmental conditions ( ie climate & soil). The climax vegt is the most complex group of plants in an area & develops over a long period
deciduous moonsoon forest , alpine grassland and tundra vegetation
Broadleaf Evergreen Forest
A deciduous forest is a climax community that changes leaves in the fall.
Tropical rainforest, Cloud Forest, Tropical deciduous forest, Polylepis forest.
London is a large cosmopolitan city and hasn't got much in the way of vegetation.
