Detection of Pinus radiata wildlings in remnant vegetation in the lower SE of South Australia, and far SW of Victoria

a Pilot Study

This investigation attempted to use fine spatial scale Quickbird imagery and digitised aerial photography to indicate the location of pine wildlings within a selection of vegetation communities.

Land use effects on soil nutrient enrichment: risks for weed invasion

Appendix

This project examined various soil and vegetation properties of remnant eucalypt grassy woodlands under different livestock grazing regimes within agricultural landscapes on the southern tablelands and south west slopes of N.S.W. All woodlands contained…

Making the most of scant environmental flows

Changing Irrigation Systems and Management in the Harvey Irrigation Area

Milestone Report - End of Stage 1 - February 2004

The project is examining issues of water use efficiency (WUE) in the South West Irrigation Area (hereafter called the Harvey Irrigation Area). A significant WUE issue is whether water savings, improved pasture yields and farm productivity can be achieved through sprinkler (centre pivot) irrigation of dairy pasture in comparison with traditional surface bay irrigation (often called flood irrigation). This project is a case study conducted on (more)...

Changing Irrigation Systems and Management in the Harvey Irrigation Area

Final Report - February 2006

The Harvey Water Irrigation Area (HWIA) is Western Australia’s prime irrigated dairying area supplying Perth and the south west with more than 40 per cent of its milk. Irrigated agriculture commenced in Harvey with the establishment of a weir in 1916. Since that time, pastures have been watered through surface irrigation of paddocks which over time have been leveled and divided into irrigation bays. When this project was envisaged in 2001, there were no centre (more)...
