27 multiple choice 1 point
a climax community can best be described as:
an ecosystem with limited biodiversity
a new ecosystem forming after disturbance
a population dominated by invasive species
a relatively stable, mature ecosystem that has reached equilibrium

Explanation:

A climax community is a mature, stable ecological community that has reached equilibrium. It is not characterized by limited biodiversity (as it often has high biodiversity), not a new ecosystem after disturbance (that's succession stages like primary/secondary succession), and not dominated by invasive species (which disrupt ecosystems).

Answer:

A relatively stable, mature ecosystem that has reached equilibrium
