Analyses of 223 Western Australian Rangeland Monitoring System (WARMS) sites in the Gascoyne- Murchison region of Western Australia show improvements in perennial vegetation and hence range condition, over the last few years. Substantial increases in shrub density were found for both the majority of sites and the majority of species. Those species known to decrease under livestock grazing had about the same increase in density as the weedy species, known to increase under grazing. The cover of the perennial vegetation also increased across most sites. Recruitment of new plants was found on all sites and for most species. The sites were installed during the period 1993 to 1997 and reassessed during the period 1999 to 2001.
