In hydrosere (succession on a barren pond), phytoplanktons are the species that colonise in the waterbody (barren pond) to form the pioneer community.
Climax community is a group of organisms that has undergone ecological succession in the given area over time and reached a stable state.
In hydrosere, climax community is formed by forest which is predominated by trees, few shrubs and ground flora.
This whole condition is known as ecological succession.
