No.

A very simplistic answer follow's.

Improved climb makes use of extra runway length to achieve a higher speed which in turn gives a zoom climd effect.

If the runway is field length limited be it for Brake energy, runway length or obstacle then you would not be able to increase the speed.

Hope this answers your question, and I hope I don't get beaten up for a very simplistic answer.
