The relatively stable end-stage community of succession is called the
- A
Pioneer community (an early, fast-colonizing community of stress-tolerant species)
- B
Edge community (a mixed-species community formed at habitat boundaries)
- Ccheck_circle
Climax community (a self-sustaining, mature community matched to climate)
- D
Disturbance community (a transient assemblage shaped by recent fire or flooding)
Explanation
Climax communities persist until a disturbance. Modern ecology sees community structure as more dynamic than this term implies.
