Stocking rate decision tools for rangeland pastoralists

Stocking rate decisions are fundamental to pastoral management. While graziers factor in many environmental issues into their stocking rate decisions, few effectively incorporate all of the information that is either routinely collected on properties (e.g. rainfall, paddock grazing histories) or could be easily acquired (e.g. resource condition, seasonal climate forecasts). Stocking rate decision tools for rangeland pastoralists aimed to make this information more readily useable to assist (more)...

The ability of satellite imagery to provide frequent and whole-of-property (more)...
