Rangeland evaluation techniques used in Western Australia for assessing pasture condition and erosion status are described. The land system approach to land classification and the use of relic or benchmark sites are basic in the methods used. Continuous traverse records of pasture condition, wind erosion, and water erosion can be sorted and converted into statements of range condition and erosion status for areas of up to 100,000 sq. km. The data obtained during the surveys are used to produce range condition guides which can be used to determine management techniques appropriate to the condition of the country.
