Climax community

In ecology a climax community is the community of plants and animals which is the result of succession. In temperate climates these are typically deciduous or coniferous woodland, and in tropical climates they are rainforests. Often ecosystems are kept at an artificial climax community, called a plagioclimax, such as grassland, because of grazing or human interferance.
