Grazing to manage natural grasslandsExport / Share Silcock, R. G. and Martin, P. (1997) Grazing to manage natural grasslands. In: 12th Annual Conference of the Grassland Society of New South Wales, 28-30 July, 1997, Dubbo, NSW.
AbstractNatural grasslands are a mixture of plant types - trees, perennial grasses and annuals, that are always fluctuating in their dominance but at very different rates. Without perennial grasses, the resource is ecologically unstable and pastoral production is unsustainable without a system of regular destocking. Mean annual rainfall and soil fertility, via soil nitrogen levels, predetermine the inherent productivity of a piece of country. Grazing and property management systems determine how close animal production gets to the long term potential.
