Does grazing perennial pastures on saline land affect farm salt and water balances?

SGSL Salt and Water Movement Theme

This document presents the key findings of the Salt and Water Movement Theme of the Sustainable Grazing on Saline Land (SGSL) program, funded by Land Water and Wool, Land and Water Australia, Australian Wool Innovations Ltd., CSIRO, and the CRC for Plant Based Management of Saline Land. The material is based on the ain results of the experiments conducted at five sites within the SGSL program, but (more)...

What to plant where: Effectively positioning plants in saline/waterlogged landscapes

SGSL Pasture Theme Final Report

This review considers the issue of targeting plants to saline landscapes. A range of recent research has shown that saltland varies in its ability to support plant growth: economic gain is achieved by focusing revegetation into areas of highest capability. The review focuses on two factors that affect capability – salinity and water-logging. Both salinity and water-logging are highly temporally and spatially variable. Plant ecological zonation on saltland is a reflection of the ability of plants (more)...

Sustainable Irrigation Research Bulletin 4: Estimating water use efficiency for a whole catchment

Catchment managers have a responsibility to ensure equitable use of water, balancing water requirements from the upper catchment all the way downstream to the end of the valley. On farms, effi cient use of water is a goal which everybody shares to avoid plant stress from drought or waterlogging and to avoid paying for too much water.

Sustainable Grazing on Saline Lands WA1 Research Project Final Report

In 2001, when this project was initiated, it was unclear if saltbushes produced enough feed of sufficient quality to justify costs of establishment for livestock systems. Additionally at this time, there was little scientific information concerning water use by halophytic shrubs in saline soils and the ecological value of saline land. The aim of this research project was to develop options for livestock production from saline land that are profitable and reduce the environmental and social (more)...

New Saltland Grazing Options in Major Trials at Kangaroo Island

_This project is now complete. For further information go to the [Sustainable Grazing on Saline Lands](http://landwaterwool.gov.au/index.php?q=subprogram/6) section_. Maximising the productivity of saline and waterlogged country is the focus of two new farmer-driven research projects on Kangaroo Island. The projects focus on rotational grazing and (more)...
