Biodiversity and Land Condition in Tropical Savanna Rangelands

Product Information

There is now a strong demand for robust and practical methods of assessing biodiversity status at a variety of scales in Australian rangelands. This is driven by an increasing expectation that Australian rangelands will be managed, by landholders and management agencies, in an ecologically sustainable fashion (e.g.. Anon 1996, ANZECC & ARMCANZ 1999); by requirements to report on the state of and trends in biodiversity at both national (e.g.. NLWRA 2002, Beeton et al. 2006) and regional scales (e.g.. Commonwealth of Australia 2002, NRMBNT 2005); and the desire of landholders to demonstrate or improve their environmental performance.
