Detailed explanation-1: -The final stable community in an ecological succession is the ‘Climax community’. The periodic change in the species composition, structure, and architecture of the given area is known as ecological succession.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is a climax community? A climax community is the “endpoint” of succession within the context of a particular climate and geography. In the midwestern U.S., for example, such a community might be a hardwood forest with oaks and hickories as the dominant tree species.
Detailed explanation-3: -Examples are tundra, grassland, desert, and the deciduous, coniferous, and tropical rain forests. Stability is attained through a process known as succession, whereby relatively simple communities are replaced by those more complex.
