The lagoons of the outer Darwin area, NT. Milestone 2 report

Trialling a framework and indicators for wetland extent, distribution and condition at the Regional level – Milestone report 2

The project presented in this Milestone Report 2 is part of the National Wetland Indicators Project regional trials, trialing the National framework and indicators for wetland extent, distribution and condition on the lagoons in the Darwin region. The extent and distribution component of the lagoons in the Darwin region is now completed and presented as mapping based on Quickbird Imagery. Wetland condition indicators were selected on the basis of data availability for the nationally (more)...

Report on Indicator Protocol Trial for Soil Carbon Monitoring, NSW

National Monitoring and Evaluation Framework

This document reports on a soil monitoring trial in the Border Rivers Gwydir (BRG) Catchment of north-west NSW. The objective was to assess a monitoring protocol and approach to estimate soil carbon under different land uses and to provide a framework for future soil carbon monitoring.

Cradle Coast Organic Carbon Monitoring Trial

National Monitoring and Evaluation Framework

Soil organic matter (SOM) is a key soil component because it influences biological, physical, and chemical properties that define soil productivity and quality (Studdert & Echeverria 2000). It includes all the organic components of the soil and is directly derived from plants and animals. Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the driving force behind most microbially mediated processes (Fontaine et al. 2003) and equals about 58% of (more)...

Murray Catchment Soil Acidification Monitoring Trial

National Monitoring and Evaluation Framework

This report relates to a monitoring pilot for Soil Acidity in the Murray Catchment Management Authority area. It focuses on the establishment and operation of routine monitoring sites that may be undertaken by State agencies on behalf of regional bodies. It also touches on a scheme for community level soil testing tied to workshops and incentive programs. This report has been prepared as a recipe to help guide the monitoring of soil acidification. While written in the past tense, there are (more)...

Salinity Indicator Trials

National Summary Report

This report details findings of salinity indicator trials funded by the Bureau of Rural Sciences (BRS) and the National Land & Water Resources Audit (NLWRA) as part of the Australian Salinity Information Project (ASIP). The trials were conducted by six Australian states (Qld, NSW, Vic, Tas, SA and WA). The trials (more)...

Soil condition monitoring trial

Summary report

In mid-2006 the National Land & Water Resources Audit, via the National Coordinating Committee on Soil and Terrain, convened four expert panels to advise on how each indicator might best be monitored both locally for project management and accountability purposes, and at a broader scale for reporting on the condition of our national resource base. Late in 2006 a series of trials was initiated to confirm the recommendations of the expert panels and to explore any (more)...

Monitoring Soil Condition

NLWRA Factsheet Series Number 49 • June 2007

Trialling NRM Resource Condition Indicators in the Coastal Zone

The first part of this project was designed to carry out the documentation process. The result is a set of resource documents, known as the Tasmanian Indicator Compendium, which incorporates a Tasmanian Extension document for each Indicator. The Compen

National Monitoring & Evaluation Trials

Phase II Synthesis OUI1

Phase II of the National Monitoring and Evaluation Trials (NM & ET) is a natural extension to Phase I. Where Phase I was focussed on discovering and reporting on the regional availability of data for reporting against the Matters for Target (MfT),
