Height-weight profiles were established for Monachather paradoxa, Thyridolepis rnitchelliana and Eragrostis eriopoda based on field populations from semi-arid mulga woodlands in north-western New South Wales. These profiles were subsequently used to develop photographic standards of percentage canopy remaining by weight as a guide to field assessment of the severity of grazing. Examples of the standards are presented.
