Body

The aims of this report are to:
• review the importance of livestock carrying
capacity and calculation procedures in northern
Australia
• evaluate current trends in climate variables and
simulated components of the grazing system
using the AussieGRASS model
• compare trends with climate change projections
• review the implication of climate change
projections for livestock carrying capacity
• review modelling capability to simulate forage
production
• discuss major management issues affecting
grazing enterprises resulting from climate
change.
