The climax community is the last stage of an ecological succession of communities and manifests the most stable condition within a succession, stable vegetation being in equilibrium with its environment. According to the monoclimax theory of Clements (1916), the climax formation is mainly controlled by vegetation factors. Therefore the climatic climax is not affected by other environmental factors such as soil or topography. Stabilization may in fact be an illusion. A degree of instability is characteristic of communities because of climatic change, and the continuing nature of evolutionary process. Environmental factors are not constant and climate although an important factor does not influence the vegetation communities on its own
