Body
There is increasing interest in the impact of grazing by domestic livestock on biodiversity in Astrebla
(Mitchell grass) grasslands (Woinarski 1999). A long term grazing study in Astrebla grasslands in
Queensland (Orr 1998) provides an opportunity to examine the impact of different grazing pressures
on pasture species diversity. This paper presents data on the germinable soil seed banks of eight
pasture species in response to four grazing pressures when meaned across the period 1984 to 1999.
