Indigenous disadvantage and poverty have persisted and are set to continue into the future. Although a large amount of work describes the extent and nature of indigenous disadvantage and poverty, there is little evidence-based systems understanding o

The health of arid and semiarid lands needs to be monitored, particularly if they are used to produce food and fiber, and are prone to loss of vegetation cover and soil. Indicators of landscape health based on remotely sensed data could cost-effectiv

A new continuous, cover-based, directional leakiness index, CDLI, is described that has a number of advantages over a binary-based, directional leakiness index, DLI, previously described in this journal. These indices are monitoring tools aimed to in

In arid and semi-arid rangeland regions, landscapes that trap and retain resources, such as rain water, soil particles, and organic matter, provide more favorable habitats for vegetation and fauna, and are considered more functional than landscapes t

The cover, number, size, shape, spatial arrangement and orientation of vegetation patches are attributes that have been used to indicate how well landscapes function to retain, not ‘leak’, vital system resources such as rainwater and soil. We der

This paper is a review of current assessment frameworks, time series features and an analysis of the causes of Indigenous poverty and disadvantage. Current frameworks used to assess the chronic nature of Indigenous poverty and disadvantage are mainly

A dynamic reference-cover method and remotely-sensed ground cover were used to determine the change in the state of ~640 000 km2 of rangelands in Queensland at a sub-bioregional scale between 1988 and 2005. The method is based on persistence of groun

We report a case study of community involvement in industry and regional development which took a whole-system approach to growing the tourist industry in central Australia. All stages of the study are presented beginning with the initial creation of

Buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) has invaded extensive areas of arid and semi-arid Australia following its introduction as a pasture species and for erosion control. It has been suggested that buffel grass has initiated a positive fire-invasion fe

Rangelands support many ecosystem services important to humans, including climate regulation. They also have a significant role to play in the mitigation of greenhouse gases. However, the capacity of any rangeland to do this depends foremost upon the
