Detailed explanation-1: -A climax community is an ecological community in which populations of plants or animals remain stable and exist in balance with each other and their environment. It is the final stage(last and stable) of succession, remaining relatively unchanged until destroyed by an event such as fire or human interference.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: A community that has reached a stable stage is called a climax community in ecological succession. Climax communities have reached their peak and have a wide variety of plants and animals.
