OBS

Climax légèrement inhibé qui ne réalise pas toutes les possibilités normalement permises par le climat local (parfois appelés climax édaphique). C'est une variation du climax, c.-à-d. des associations dont les affinités immédiates sont avec le stade terminal plutôt qu'avec un des sous-climax (Dansereau, Institut Botanique Université de Montréal, bulletin 60, 1949)
