The influence of livestock grazing on five major chenopod shrubland species in quadrats along a distance gradient from a watering point was studied in a semi -arid area of South Australia. Cluster analysis of plant features showed that the unpalatable plants are located principally around the water point to about 300 m and along a line into the predominant wind direction. The tallest and widest plants of the palatable species were mostly more than 700 m from the water point, with shorter, less spreading palatable plants between these two zones.
