As an area is invaded and taken over by successive populations of plants and animals, the physiognomy of the community changes. Isolated pioneer plants eventually give way to a consolidation of the plant cover. With continued exploitation of the habitat, new species take over which have life forms able to utilize more fully the resources of the habitat then previous life forms until finally the climax community is established. ... It was traditional to divide succession into pioneer, consolidation, subclimax, and climax stages on the basis of physiognomy.
