Queensland’s rangelands are an important source for Australia’s pastoral food production. However, they are subject to significant climate variability and will be under increasing pressure as the climate changes, potentially leading to loss of pr

This paper uses a scenario analysis system - Range-ASSESS - to examine the potential for gains and losses of soil carbon in the Australian rangelands as affected by grazing and climate. The analysis involves a factorial examination of the effect of s

Drought of 3 to 7 years’ duration has devastated the flora, fauna, and regional economies in rangeland grazing districts over eastern and central Australia every 15 to 25 years throughout the 20th century, in some cases degrading the land beyond re

Management of grazing lands has been included in land-based mechanisms for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. This paper describes a spatial system for scenario analysis of the effect of changes in grazing management on rangeland carbon balances.

Extreme drought has devastated the flora, fauna, and regional economy in rangeland grazing districts over Australia for 3-5 years duration every 20 to 30 years throughout the 20th century. We investigate the source of drought occurring in five exampl

Every environmental activity to a large extent is dependent on climate as natural processes are intrinsically linked with the waxing and waning of the seasons. The goal is to integrate global seasonal climate forecasts with local environmental decisi

Increases in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) are likely to impact on grazing industries through direct effects on plant growth and through possible changes in climate. Assessment of the likely direction and

Using a simulation model of sheep and cattle grazing systems in different regions of the Australian rangelands, we tested the use of different measures and analyses for identifying an ‘exceptional circumstances’ drought event, defined as occurrin

Water is a key variable driving the composition and productivity of pastures and rangelands, and many of the ecosystems in these grasslands are highly sensitive to changes in water supply. The possibility that elevated CO2 concentrations may alter pl

Increasing atmospheric concentrations of ‘greenhouse gases’ are expected to result in global climatic changes over the next decades. Means of evaluating and reducing greenhouse gas emissions are being sought. In this study an existing simulation
