Biodiversity, the number of beings
and the biomass an ecosystem tend
to as the succession progresses
they stabilize when the
stage is reached.

At initial stage of the the
use of carbon and the fixation of
into the biomass are , since
the total number living beings in the
is increasing. At the
stage the use of dioxide by
photosynthesis equals production by
cellular respiration the fixation of
carbon the biomass tends to .
