31. What is a Disclimax?
A disturbance climax - the result of actions that people make or their domestic animals. If you were to look at an area, that was expected to be a grassland but it was not, instead it was a sagebrush thicket.
This will often be from overgrazing, too many animals on a limited space causes the grazers to over eat the good things (grasses) and not the bad tasting things (sagebrush). This ends up being a community of sagebrushes instead of grasses and it is now considered a disclimax.
