1916F. E. Clements Plant Succession vi. 136 The associes is the developmental equivalent of the association... It is composed of two or more consocies, i.e., developmental consociations, just as the association consists of two or more consociations. Like the association, it is based upon life-form, floristic composition, and habitat, but differs from it in as much as all of these are undergoing constant or recurrent developmental changes. 1926Tansley & Chipp Stud.
