| 顶级群落 | climax A botanical term referring to the terminal community said to be achieved when a sere (a sequential development of a plant community or group of plant communities on the same site over a period of time) achieves dynamic equilibrium with its environment and in particular with its prevailing climate. Each of the world's major vegetation climaxes is equivalent to a biome. Many botanists believe that climate is the master factor in a plant environment and that even if several types of plant succession occur in an area they will all tend to converge towards a climax form of vegetation (一个植物学术语。它指，当一个演替系列(在一段时间内，在同一个地方的一个植物群落或植物群集的一系列发展)在环境中特别是在线性气候中实现动态平衡时，终极群集就实现了。世界上每一种植物的顶级群落对于一个生物群系都是相同的。许多生物学家相信，气候是植物环境的主要因素，即使若干植物继承类型发生在它们将都趋向于形成植物的顶极群落的地区。) |
