Since Monaco is a highly developed area because of all of the tourist attractions, not much natural land is left in the area. If there are any natural land left, it had most likely been degraded so it would be secondary succession because the environment would have to be able to grow back after being partially destroyed. The normal climax community would be a Charparral climate. This is because the plants and animals need a drier summer and a wetter winter to survive. 5. The stability is due to resilience in Monaco. This is because the environment is sometime destoryed by human and wildfires. The wildfires are due to the dry, arid Charparral climate that is in Monaco. Secondary succession is put into play because of the fires burn down the forests to the bare mininum and they have to grow back from the dirt that is left.
