Here are some photos of botanical gardens in both Rome & Atlanta, so people can decide which one has more sub-tropical vegetation...

Atlanta:





Rome:


Climax vegetation of Rome is not subtropical while in Atlanta the climax vegetation is subtropical. And why you are so obsessed of palms trees ?
They are not the emblematic tree of subtropical climate...
Look the climax trees of Mississippi, Northern Florida... that are purely subtropical trees, they are palm trees ?

What? Climax?? What does the point of orgasm have to do with any of this??

I am not obsessed with palm trees. But look at the photos I posted, how can you say Atlanta botanical garden looks more subtropical than Rome's????????

You need to get out more as well as actually read peoples replies, why do you always ask a question when you have already made your mind up

Pointless trying to have any sort of discussion with you...

Botanical gardens = humans influence therefore botanical gardens vegetations are absolutely not the climax vegetations wich is the most important thing to know the real kind of vegetations in a climate location.

Climax community. The species that dominates the forest before regeneration. I don't know if you use it in English anymore, the whole term is a bit outdated. In Scandinavian forests the climax species is spruce (or sometimes pine), in Central European deciduous forests beech. I think this is what Hartfordd is indicating.

It's still used in English, maybe in more technical language on the subject. Concept is somewhat outdated, as you said, but I remember learning it in school.

Climax community - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Well then the question is what is the difference between the climax community in Rome vs Atlanta.

Deciduous climax trees in southernmost Scandinavia, especially in Denmark and Southern Sweden.
A small area along the southern coast of Norway have oak (Quercus robur) as climax tree.

Hmm, I always thought climax community was a very well-known term.

Apparently the climax trees in southern England are beech, hornbeam, linden lime and oak. I'd never heard of the term.
