Explanation

A "sere" refers to the sequence of developmental stages that an ecosystem passes through during primary or secondary succession under specific environmental conditions. Each stage is a "seral stage" and the entire sequence from pioneer to climax community constitutes the sere. Biomes are large climatic regions, and climatic climax is the endpoint.
