Which of the following is not an outcome of ecological succession?

  1. There is a progressive change in species structure, organic matter and energy flow
  2. The climax stage consists of a comparatively long lasting species composition
  3. There is no dynamic equilibrium between the community and habitat in the climax stage ✓
  4. Communities occurring later in the sequence of succession are more complex
Explanation

The statement that there is no dynamic equilibrium in the climax stage is false, so it is the answer. At the climax stage, the community is stable and in balance with its habitat.

The other three statements correctly describe succession.
