Body
Monitoring in rangelands needs to be conducted over prolonged time periods to discriminate changes due to grazing management from that due to the long term rainfall variation that is so characteristic of Australian rangelands. Such discrimination is particularly important where the major plant species are long lived. This paper details changes in a long term grazing study as told by pasture measurements and associated photographs in two permanent quadrats that are grazed at contrasting grazing pressures.
