Landscape Ecology
Projects researching basic Landscape & Ecology are helping us
understand problems like erosion and nutrient run-off in the
soil-poor regions of the savannas.

Projects that contribute to sustainable grazing
- Beef Industry Best Practice
- Biodiversity on Grazing lands
- Grazing Management Tools
Grazing management is a key issue for the health of tropical
savannas as it is the dominant land use. The current round of the
CRC has three projects that aim to contribute to sustainable land
management for graziers. However, many of our projects will also
contribute to knowledge on sustainable grazing.
Beef Industry Best Practice is linked to efforts to
develop Environmental Management Systems for the northern grazing
industry.
Biodiversity on Grazing lands Native plants and animals
do better if parts of a property are not grazed or are only lightly
grazed, but how much land needs to be put aside or lightly
grazed?
Grazing Management tools This project is developing and
promoting long-term grazing carrying capacity as a tool for
sustainable management and structural adjustment across the
savannas.
