Climax vegetation

Climax vegetation refers to the stable, mature plant community that develops in an area after ecological succession has progressed over time. It represents the final stage where the ecosystem is balanced and remains relatively unchanged unless disturbed. This vegetation is well-adapted to the local climate and soil conditions, providing a permanent and self-sustaining habitat. For example, certain forests or grasslands that have reached this steady state are considered climax communities, maintaining biodiversity and ecological health through complex interactions among plants, animals, and the environment.
