The final stage of succession is a climax community or a plagioclimax.
Stability in Climax Communities
They respond well to disturbances and can recover from most problems.
High Biodiversity in Climax Communities
They have a wide range of plants and animals.
Complex Food Webs in Climax Communities
Energy moves through different trophic levels from the tiniest of bacteria to the largest predators.
High Biomass in Climax Communities
There is a high biomass as a result of the many species of plant and animal living in a climax community.
A plagioclimax is when the actions of humans limit a climax community forming due to activities such as muirburn, poor deer management, and grazing animals.
