The climax stage is stage of the
ecological in which the
community an ecosystem becomes
stable does not undergo significant
. Inthe climax community
practically ecological niches are
explored greater biodiversity is
possible. this stage the biomass,
photosynthesis rate and the
respiration reach their maximum
and thus the net production
(NPP = organic made by the
producers – material consumed
in cellular respiration of the
) tends to zero. At climax
the amount of released by
photosynthesis is equal to
the oxygen by respiration.
(This is more reason why it
wrong to say that Amazon
Rainforest, an ecosystem
stage, is “the lung” the earth. Other
reasons : lungs are not producers
oxygen; the algae and of
the phytoplankton are main
producers of the oxygen of
the planet.)
