Climax Vegetation

Climax vegetation is the vegetation which establishes itself on a given site for given climatic conditions in the absence of anthropic action after a long time (it is the asymptotic or quasi equilibrium state of the local ecosystem). Tropical evergreen forest is an example of climax vegetation, as are temperate forests, tundras, savannas, grassland etc. An ecosystem which has reached its climax is more resilient to perturbations (climatic or anthropic) than an artificial plantation.
