Biotic Interactions
Some biotic interactions occuring in complex community are:
- Competition: In the natural world, various plants and animals fight for resources like food, space, and sunlight. The stronger or more adaptable individuals win and make it through.
- Predation: The ability of a particular species to persist in a given area is impacted by the hunting of other animals for food.
- Symbiosis: In a unique kind of partnership known as symbiosis, two or more species cooperate for the mutual benefit. For instance, flowers and bees benefit from each other’s nectar and pollen distribution.
Climax Community
A climax community is the final stage of ecological succession which remains stable as long as the environment remains unchanged. The climax community characteristics include stable species composition, equilibrium with environmental conditions, and a complex structure supporting diverse habitats and species.
The climax stage is not entirely permanent because the environment changes over very long periods due to changes in temperature, ecological processes, and evolutionary processes. In this article, we will study the climax community, its characteristics, examples, and more.
