Description
The effect of slope exposures on the development of vegetation seems so obvious that its importance needs not be emphasized. For example, when a survey was made on old pastures at lowland hills in southern Kyushu, temperate region grasses dominated on north-facing slope, while subtropical grasses predominantly occupied swards on south-facing slope (Nikki et al., 1981). Slope exposure can have a marked influence on climatic factors (Lambert and Robert, 1976). The purpose ofthis paper is to describe some functional relations between slope exposure influence relating to the microclimate and growth of cool season - or warm season grass species in subtropical Kyushu, characterized by dry cool winters and hot moist summers, to establish a stable sward on lowland pasture.
