- Library Collection RecordThe recent trend to farming or re-domestication of feral goats poses serious questions for the ecological sustainability of the semiarid and arid rangelands of southern Australia. This paper reviews…Publication Date 2014
- Library Collection RecordThe degradation of semiarid agricultural rangelands in Australia can be traced back to the 19th century when Europeans expanded into these areas. That environmental degradation remains today and…Publication Date 2013
- 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
