This PR is picking up and will hopefully close multiple issues related to the biome hierarchy and semantics.
The approach used is to leverage a process class for ecological succession in climax communities. We acknowledge that the notion of climax communities is being refined in modern ecology, and have attempted to reflect this in the definitions and terminology (i.e. we do not content that any ecological community can ever reached an idealised climax state, but we do not that successional process can slow or maintain a community).
We'll start with a desert example, get the pattern stable, and then propagate changes across terms (xref #1321)
