A climax community is stable with minimal change over time, its composition dependent on climate. Biodiversity increases during succession, peaks mid-succession, then declines as dominant species outcompete others, leading to lower overall biodiversity with more dominant species.
Una comunidad clímax es estable con cambios mínimos a lo largo del tiempo, y su composición depende del clima. La biodiversidad aumenta durante la sucesión, alcanzando su punto máximo a mitad de la sucesión, y luego disminuye a medida que las especies dominantes eliminan a las pioneras, resultando en una menor biodiversidad general con más especies dominantes.
