Body
Surface runoff in the mulga (AcaciaaneuraF.Muel.) lands of south western Quensland was recorded from small plots using both natural and artificial rainfall. Runoff was higher from the hard mulga and dissected residual land zones than from the soft mulga zone. Runoff was positively correlated with surface slope, soil bulk density and the fine sand component of the soil, and negatively correlated with plant dry matter, canopy cover and basal area . . . . .
