Question
Chapter 38.2, Problem 4MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The way by which disturbance prevents true climax community from developing.
Concept Introduction:
A real climax community is a community which remains constant, due to best adaptations of a niche by the species which are fittest over the best distribution. Ecological succession is a way that is required to change a species composition to make it fit than the other. This change is driven by the process of natural selection.
