climatic = clim(斜坡) + atic(…的) = 赤道倾斜→纬度影响气候→气候的
climate = clim(斜坡) + ate(表名词) = 太阳光斜照在地球表面→气候
沿着斜坡爬到最高点→高潮，顶点
climax
常考释义
n. 顶级（群落）【生态】
The final stage of a succession, called the climax by Clements and early ecologists, is likewise not predictable or of uniform composition.
演变的最后阶段被克莱门茨和早期生态学家称为顶级群落，它同样不可预测，组成也不单一。
The nature of the climax is influenced by the same factors that influenced succession.
顶级群落本质上同样受到那些影响演变的因素的影响。
来源于：阅读OFFICIAL19 P2Even some authors who accepted the climax concept rejected Clements' characterization of it as a superorganism, and it is indeed a misleading metaphor.
即使那些接受顶级群落概念的作者也拒绝接受克莱门茨关于超级有机体的描述，它的确是一个误导人的隐喻。
来源于：阅读OFFICIAL19 P2But there is no evidence for such an interacting communicative network in a climax plant formation.
但是没有证据表明在顶级群落植物系统中有这样一种相互影响的交流系统。
来源于：阅读OFFICIAL19 P2With "climax," "biome," "superorganism," and various other technical terms for the association of animals and plants at a given locality being criticized, the term "ecosystem" was more and more widely adopted for the whole system of associated organisms together with the physical factors of their environment.
尽管顶级群落，生态群落，超级有机体和许多对给定区域动植物联系描述的专业术语都被批评，但“生态系统”越来越被广泛接受，它用以描述相互联系的有机体以及生态环境物理因素的系统。
来源于：阅读OFFICIAL19 P2Gleason's arguments against climax and biome are largely valid against ecosystems as well.
格里森反对顶级群落和生物群系的论点用来反驳生态系统同样很有效。
来源于：阅读OFFICIAL19 P2The first community in a succession is called a pioneer community, while the long-lived community at the end of succession is called a climax community.
演替中的第一个群落被称作先锋群落，而处于演替最后那个长期生存的群落被称为顶极群落。
来源于：阅读OFFICIAL3 P3Climax communities themselves change but over periods of time greater than about 500 years.
顶极群落本身也改变，但其变化周期超过500年。
来源于：阅读OFFICIAL3 P3Support for this idea came from the observation that long-lasting climax communities usually have more complex food webs and more species diversity than pioneer communities.
通过观察得出的结论支持了这个观点，长期持久的顶极群落通常要比先锋群落具备更为复杂的食物网和更多的物种。
来源于：阅读OFFICIAL3 P3Ecologists concluded that the apparent stability of climax ecosystems depended on their complexity.
生态学家家们得出的结论是：顶点生态系统的稳定性明显取决于他们的复杂化程度。
来源于：阅读OFFICIAL3 P3In contrast, a complex climax community, such as a temperate forest, will tolerate considerable damage from weather to pests.
与此相反，在一个复杂的顶极群落里，如温带森林，他们便可以抵御来自气候和害虫的干扰和入侵。
来源于：阅读OFFICIAL3 P3In that case, the climax community would be considered the most stable, since, by definition, it changes the least over time.
如果是这样的话，顶极群落将被视为最稳定的，因为根据定义，他们随着时间推移而变化得最少。
来源于：阅读OFFICIAL3 P3At least in temperate zones, maximum diversity is often found in mid-successional stages, not in the climax community.
至少在温带地区，会经常在演替过程中发现最多物种，而不是在顶极群落中。
来源于：阅读OFFICIAL3 P3Many ecologists now think that the relative long-term stability of climax communities comes not from diversity but from the “patchiness” of the environment, an environment that varies from place to place supports more kinds of organisms than an environment that is uniform.
现在的很多生态学家们认为，顶极群落相对长期的稳定性并非来自于多样性，而是来自环境的“补缀”，随处变化的环境比始终如一的环境更有利于多种有机体的生存。
来源于：阅读OFFICIAL3 P3Ecologists are especially interested to know what factors contribute to the resilience of communities because climax communities all over the world are being severely damaged or destroyed by human activities.
生态学家们更想弄清楚到底哪些因素有助于促成群落的恢复，因为世界各地的顶极群落都因为人类活动而遭受到严重的损坏或毁坏。
