The term climax community, also described as a climatic climax community, is an ecological term for a biological community of plants and animals which, through the process of ecological succession - the development of vegetation in an area over time - has reached a steady state. This equilibrium occurs because the climax community is composed of species best adapted to average conditions in that area. The term is sometimes also applied in soil development. The idea of a single climatic climax, which is defined in relation to regional climate, originated with Frederic Clements in the early 1900s. The first analysis of succession as leading to something like a climax was written by Henry Cowles in 1899, but it was Clements who used the term "climax" to describe the idealized endpoint of succession

Natural change in an environment is called a?
Ecological succession is the term for natural changes in an environment. This progression continues until a climax community is achieved.
What is sere in ecological succession?
"Ser" is a stage in ecological succession where the environment is dry and lacks vegetation. It is a transitional stage between earlier succession stages and the eventual climax community. This stage is characterized by drought-tolerant species and sparse vegetation.
What is a climax species?
In time a generally stable community of a diverse number of species is formed that is called a climax community. unless disturbed by natural or human forces, a climax community can exist for many generations.
The new growth of a community undergoing primary succession begins with the growth of a?
Pioneer Species
What is the gradual and orderly process of change in an ecosystem brought about by the progressive replacement of one community by another?
This process is known as ecological succession, where different plant and animal communities replace one another over time in a predictable sequence. It occurs in response to changes in environmental conditions, such as after a disturbance like a fire or flood. These changes in community composition ultimately lead to the development of a more stable and mature ecosystem.
What is the end product of succession called?

What is a series of changes in a biotic community that progress toward a climax community?
Succession is a series of changes in a biotic community that progress towards a stable climax community. It involves the gradual replacement of one community by another over time.
Explain how the establishment of a climax community through primary succession differs from a climax community through secondary succession?
Climax community is the final stage of succession. It is where you have a stable community of all the different organisms that live together in a state of balance until a Natural disturbance happens and the whole succession starts over again.
