With climate change firmly on the global agenda, carbon trading is emerging as a growth industry. In Australia the rangelands has been identified as one of the country’s largest carbon sinks. Increasing carbon sequestration is the key to the ability to trade carbon. Improved grazing management practices may be able to increase the rate of carbon sequestration in the soil and above ground biomass in arid rangeland areas. Grazing management systems which stimulate increased plant growth through rest and intensive grazing such as cell grazing or rotational grazing may be the answer. ...
