Interest by land managers in rehabilitating these once highly productive pastures has led to research to formulate rehabilitation guidelines (1). Different key constraints…

Many degraded areas in the Carnarvon region of WA have eroded duplex soils with exposed clay B horizons. These soils are often scalded and are inherently saline and sodic…

Drought is a major factor in a rangeland environment. It has major effects on rangeland resources, on productivity and thus influences financial and social aspects.…

Over the past 100 years, reactive methods have been developed to manage rangelands by adjusting herd /flock numbers and property size, and using better husbandry practices…

Ready access to climate data facilitates a better understanding of climate and enhances rangeland research. The Bureau of Meteorology collects climate data across…

Human - induced changes in atmospheric chemistry and meteorology have the potential to impact a broad array of ecosystem processes over a range of temporal and spatial…

New approaches to rangeland management which are directed at overcoming the problems caused by spatial and temporal heterogeneity in paddocks, must be applied in an…

Erldunda Station has long been known as the centre of rabbit distribution in the Northern Territory. An estimated 23,000 warrens exist on the 2932km2 Station, 7.8/km2.…

Vegetation changes in managed ecosystems are the result of complex interactions among the manipulations imposed by the manager and the biotic and abiotic factors of the…

A history of cropping at the margins between arable and pastoral lands is examined. Assessment is made of the climatic factors that caused an abandonment of cropping.…

On the self -mulching clay soils of north western New South Wales, wheat cultivation has expanded into areas previously regarded as too dry for crop production. The…

Grazing pressure resulting from high stocking levels can change the surface cover levels and soil crust enough to dramatically increase the erosion hazard of a paddock.…

We address a number of management principles pertaining to temporal and spatial changes in rangeland systems. Both plant community composition, and availability and…

Introduced herbivores are an important component of rangeland grazing systems. For a variety of reasons: densities of introduced herbivores are usually uncontrolled, their…

The spatial distribution and relative abundance of sheep, goats and kangaroos were assessed from extensive dung surveys following dry and wet periods in two paddocks in…

Setting long term stock carrying capacities for arid rangelands is a problem faced by many arid land administrators throughout Australia. Large fluctuations in seasonal…

The coastal wetlands of the Northern Territory are a valuable resource for conservation, pastoralism, tourism and the commercial utilisation of wildlife. These values are…

The conservation of biodiversity in the rangelands cannot occur solely in National Parks - the arid lands environment is too risky and too extensive. Deciding what level…

Some conservation goals for the rangelands can be met by managing pastoral land in a more sustainable manner. Other conservation goals will only be met by managing some…
