When you first enroll in Medicare based on ESRD and you are on dialysis, your Medicare coverage usually starts the first day of the fourth month of dialysis treatments. For example, if you start getting your dialysis treatments in July, your Medicare coverage would start on October 1.
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 term disclimax was used in-context by Clements (1936), and despite being an anthropogenic phenomenon which prevents the facilitation and succession to a true climax community, it is one of the only examples of climax that can be observed in nature.espite the overall abandonment of climax theory, during the 1990s use of climax concepts again became more popular among some theoretical ecologists. Many authors and nature-enthusiasts continue to use the term climax in a diluted form to refer to what might otherwise be called mature or old-growth communities.
