Abstract
A paper published in 1967 analysed the pattern of British grassland farming with respect to the areal averages of ‘effective transpiration’, defined as the integration of potential transpiration, April to September, at times when the soil moisture deficits within the root range are not great enough to act as a major check to grass growth, due allowance being made for soil type. The conclusions reached therein have been verified by reference to the 1973 agricultural data, showing that the strong agriculture/climate relationship has been confirmed, and that the rate of change of farming pattern with respect to the climatic parameter has increased. This result confirms the usefulness of the simple agroclimatic factor and shows the increasing ability of the British farmer to interpret correctly the climatic potential of his land.
