- Library Collection RecordIn a mulga (Acacia aneura) woodland pasture, the survival of mature grasses and their seedlings was more strongly influenced by seasonal conditions than by grazing, although heavily grazed pastures…Publication Date 2014
- Library Collection RecordThe population dynamics of Astrebla spp. at two levels of grazing and exclosure are expressed in the form of age structure and used to project the likely changes due to drought. It is concluded that…Publication Date 2014
- Library Collection RecordThe effect of sheep and rabbits grazing on the vegetation and its regeneration measured in the 275 mm annual rainfall zone on three overgrazed sites between 1968 and 1980. It was found that where the…Publication Date 2014
- Library Collection RecordIn two Mulga pasture types and in a Sandy Open Woodland, the effect of exclosure from grazing cattle during seven years,and distance from water were studied. Standing biomass levels fluctuated more…Publication Date 2014
- Library Collection RecordThe occurrence of interstitial species in Astrebla grasslands in Australia are influenced by grazing and seasonal rainfall but the interactions of these two influences are complex. This paper…Publication Date 2013
- Library Collection RecordTemperate perennial grasslands globally have been subject to extensive biodiversity loss. Identifying livestock grazing regimes that maintain and enhance the diversity and cover of native plant…Publication Date 2013
- Library Collection RecordHarvesting of sandalwood (Santalum spicatum) occurs mainly from wild stands in the semi-arid and arid regions (typical annual rainfall 150-300mm) of Western Australia. Regeneration of wild sandalwood…Publication Date 2013
- Library Collection RecordManaging large variations in herbage production, resulting from highly variable seasonal rainfall, provides a major challenge for the sustainable management of Astrebla (Mitchell grass) grasslands in…Publication Date 2013
- Library Collection RecordThe majority of arid and semiarid land in the Western Australian pastoral zone has a long history of livestock grazing within an extensive network of predominantly family-held pastoral leases. A…Publication Date 2013
- Library Collection RecordThroughout the last decades, agricultural abandonment in European mountain areas has caused changes in traditional livestock management with consequences for semi-natural grassland use and vegetation…Publication Date 2013
- Library Collection RecordSheep and goat production is the main and sometimes only agricultural activity available to populations living on rangelands in the arid regions around the Mediterranean. Desertification threatens…Publication Date 2013
