Body

A number of different criteria have been used to determine the response of rangeland to management and as an index of range condition (Parker,1954). The most common methods involve estimates of the weight of herbage per unit area (Brown,1954) and /or species composition by weight (Pechanec and Pickford,1937),or by basal area/cover(Robertsetal,1976).The dry matter produced by individual plants of certain grasses in the rangelands of the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales has also been observed . . . . .
