- Library Collection RecordDust storms are frequent in Australia and can have a large impact on the soil resource, the economy and people. There have been few economic studies of the impact of wind erosion worldwide and only…Publication Date 2013
- Library Collection RecordMany restoration guidelines strongly recommend the use of local sources of seed in native plant revegetation projects. These recommendations are based on assumptions that the species used for…Publication Date 2013
- Library Collection RecordFeral goats (Capra hircus) are increasing in abundance and distribution in the semi-arid and arid rangelands of New South Wales, and elsewhere in the southern rangelands. They present a conundrum for…Publication Date 2013

- Library Collection RecordDesert ecology features long time-frames and extreme seasonal unpredictability. In addition, Australia's arid rangelands have unique social, cultural, land-use and land tenure characteristics…Publication Date 2013
- Library Collection RecordDetermining what level of investment is required, and where and how it is used, to maintain biodiversity across vast areas is difficult. In response to this challenge, the South Australian Department…Publication Date 2013
- Library Collection RecordIn harsh, resource-limited rangelands, plants and other structures, such as animal burrows, can ameliorate extreme microclimate conditions and increase resource availability for other species. The…Publication Date 2013
- Library Collection RecordThe pastoral industry in the Pilbara and Southern Rangelands of Western Australia continues to face very difficult economic, social and ecological situations due to decline in terms of trade and…Publication Date 2013
- Library Collection RecordIncreasing world human population, declining reserves of cheaply extracted fossil fuels, scarcity of supplies of fresh water and climatic instability will put tremendous pressure on world rangelands…Publication Date 2013
- Library Collection RecordThe interaction among species is one of the most important factors influencing the distribution of plants in a given habitat. Vegetation of arid rangelands often appears patchy with many herbaceous…Publication Date 2013
- 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 RecordEnclosures are widely used by pastoralists in East Africa. However, the response of herbaceous and woody vegetation to enclosures seasonally grazed by livestock remains poorly understood. This study…Publication Date 2013
