Detailed explanation-1: -The species composition of the climax community remains the same because all the species present successfully reproduce themselves and invading species fail to gain a foothold.

Detailed explanation-2: -An ecological community in which populations of plants or animals remain stable and exist in balance with each other and their environment. A climax community is the final stage of succession, remaining relatively unchanged until destroyed by an event such as fire or human interference.

Detailed explanation-3: -Features of climax communities they have moderate conditions, also called mesic conditions. They have high species diversity, and transfer of energy is in the form of complex food webs, not simple food chains. The size of organisms in the community is large, and they all have their specific niches.

Detailed explanation-4: -Today, most ecologists agree that climax communities are not common in the real world. They also agree that most exist in space and time and can be observed on large time scales of many decades and on wide ranges of an area, from a dozen acres to thousands of acres.
