Body
An understanding of the current amount of total green biomass, total biomass and biomass growth
rates is necessary for graziers to better manage pasture utilisation in the northern Australian
grasslands. This project aims to assess the veracity (and challenges) of applying MODIS satellitederived NDVI to calculating forage biomass in the complex landscapes of the northern tropical rangelands and to develop a web-based delivery platform . . . . .
