Book excerpt: Northern Australia: The Arenas of Life and Ecosystems on Half a Continent provides a geographical study of the interplay of environmental challenge and human endeavor in the vast arena of Northern Australia. This book is organized into three parts. Part A presents the contextual setting for Parts B and C. It includes a historical geographer's perspective on the ecological impact of 200 years of European settlement; a description of the use of satellite imagery; and discussion of some of the interactions among natural subsystems as they impinge on human activities (especially in the extensive rangelands). Part B discusses some of the human ecosystems which extend over a very large geographical territory. In these ecosystems the human population is small in terms of absolute number and relative to the population of other living things. These include the tropical marine ecosystems and their growing utilization for mariculture; and rangeland ecosytems dominated by cattle and the overlapping semi-arid grasslands. Part C discusses intensive ecosystems, where the human population is dominant in number.

Book excerpt: STRIKING THE BALANCE 2nd Edition, is a book which outlines the practices and principles of sustainable farming and grazing systems in the Semi-arid Topics of the NT. Book outlines the unique physical environment of the Top End and explains why sustainable farming and grazing practice are imperative in the light of climate change and its potential consequences for northern Australia. The Book covers grazing practice, soil conservation, irrigation and water use in detail using easy to understand language and full colour illustrations. The importance of soil protection, vegetative cover and conservation farming is described from a regional and global perspective. Protecting the soil through good farming and livestock management is a rare win/win situation for the producer, the wider community and the environment. This practical and attractive book helps explain how and why.

Download or read book Enhancing Adoption of Improved Grazing and Fire Management Practices in Northern Australia written by J. G. McIvor and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project was part of the Northern Grazing Systems project which aimed to increase adoption of innovative best-practice grazing management by beef producers throughout Queensland, the Northern Territory and the Kimberley and Pilbara regions of Western Australia. Published research results relating to four management factors [infrastructure development (fences and water points), stocking rate management, pasture resting and prescribed burning] and other relevant literature were collated and reviewed. This information was used to develop a set of scientifically-based principles and guidelines for managing grazing lands in northern Australia. The principles and guidelines were applied to four widespread management issues - matching feed supply and animal demand, managing C condition land, woody plant problems, and utilising ungrazed areas in large paddocks. In the short term, the combination of this information with results of bio-economic modelling and regionally specific information from Project B.NBP.0578 will provide a solid foundation for future research and extension activities. In the longer term, we can anticipate that grazing land management will be more appropriate for northern Australian conditions and there will be financial benefits to producers, land will be in better condition, and the northern beef industry will be more sustainable.

This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Key Features: Provides clear and authoritative recommendations for managing fire in ecological and social contexts Authors are all international leaders in their fields and include not only academics but also leaders of Indigenous communities Explains Indigenous cultural and knowledge systems to a degree that has rarely been accessible to lay and academic readers outside specialized disciplines like Anthropology Responds to growing need for new approaches to managing human-ecological systems that are in greater sympathy with Australia’s natural environments/climate, and value the knowledge of Indigenous people Timely for scholarly and interest groups intervention, as the Australian government is again looking to ‘develop the north' Sustainable Land Sector Development in Northern Australia sets out a vision for developing North Australia based on a culturally appropriate and ecologically sustainable land sector economy. This vision supports both Indigenous cultural responsibilities and aspirations, as well as enhancing enterprise opportunities for society as a whole. In the past, well-meaning if often misguided policy agendas have failed - and continue to fail - North Australians. This book helps breach that gap by acknowledging and harnessing Indigenous cultural strengths and knowledge systems for looking after the country and its people, as part of a smart, novel and diversified ecosystem services economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rangeland ecosystems which include unimproved grasslands,shrublands, savannas and semi-deserts, support half of theworld’s livestock, while also providing habitats for some ofthe most charismatic of wildlife species. This book examines thepressures on rangeland ecosystems worldwide from human land use,over-hunting, and subsistence and commercial farming of livestockand crops. Leading experts have pooled their experiences from allcontinents to cover the ecological, sociological, political,veterinary, and economic aspects of rangeland management today. This book provides practitioners and students ofrangeland management and wildland conservation with a diversity ofperspectives on a central question: can rangelands be wildlands? The first book to examine rangelands from a conservationperspective Emphasizes the balance between the needs of people andlivestock, and wildlife Written by an international team of experts covering allgeographical regions Examines ecological, sociological, political, veterinary, andeconomic aspects of rangeland management and wildland conservation,providing a diversity of perspectives not seen before in a singlevolume

This 1994 edition of Australian Vegetation reviews the vegetation of the continent as a whole. In the introductory section, chapters on phytogeography, vegetation history and alien plants set the scene for further sections covering all the major vegetation types. The plant life of extreme Australian habitats is also discussed, and the book closes with a chapter on the conservation of Australian vegetation. Each chapter, written by experts on each particular habitat type, will inform and stimulate the interests of students and professional botanists, especially those fortunate enough to see for themselves the unique vegetation and flora of Australia.
