Climate change impacts on Australia’s rangeland livestock carrying capacity: A review of challenges

Final Report

This report reviews the current state of knowledge in terms of assessing the impacts of climate change on livestock carrying capacity (LCC) in Australian rangelands, particularly concentrating on northern Australia. The report is based on two previous publications (McKeon 2006, McKeon et al. 2009) and documents the importance of livestock carrying capacity as a driver of rangeland productivity and resource condition. We reviewed calculation procedures using climate (more)...
