cliÂ·max community. An ecological community in which populations of plants or animals remain stable and exist in balance with each other and their environment. A climax community is the final stage of succession, remaining relatively unchanged until destroyed by an event such as fire or human interference.

The climax community is the stable end stage that can perpetuate itself within the site s environmental conditions. The entire sequence of stages is called a sere.
