The influence of certain environment factors, particularly soil types, on the sward cover of permanent pastures in selected areas of the St. Lawrence Lowland, Eastern Podzol, and Laurentian Upland regions of Quebec.

Pastures constitute an integral part of the acreage on most farms in the humid North-East or North America. In the Province of Quebec one firth of the farmland is devoted to pastures of one soil or another, representing three and three quarter million acres. Although adequate grassland resources are evidently of primary importance in grassland farming, pasture improvement progresses slowly, for mainly two reasons, firstly, the pastures are usually the most neglected crop on the average farm, and secondly, an entire misconception or the nature of grassland, i.e. the non-recognition of its complex nature.
