In ecology, climax refers to the ultimate stage of biotic succession attained by a plant community in a region under the environmental conditions present at a specific time. For example, a cleared forest advances from fields to old fields, to forests of the early colonists, and eventually to climax communities of longer-lived species of trees.
A climax community is attained at a quick rate in secondary succession in comparison to the primary succession due to the existence of nutrients and the spores, which are left behind.
