Biodiversity, number of living beings, and biomass of an ecosystem be inclined to rise as the succession progresses and they become stable when the climax stage is reached.

At initial stage of succession the employ of carbon dioxide and fixation of carbon in the biomass are high, since total number of living beings in ecosystem is rising. At the climax stage, the employ of carbon dioxide through photosynthesis equals the production by cellular respiration and fixation of carbon in the biomass is inclined to zero.
