Abstract

Gully erosion is a significant challenge for the Northern Australian beef industry, contributing to land degradation, reduced pasture productivity, and sediment runoff into waterways. Addressing this issue is critical to ensuring the long-term sustainability of grazing enterprises. This paper presents findings from a gully remediation project in North Queensland that investigated the relationship between litter cover (%) and pasture yield (kg DM/ha) under different rehabilitation strategies. Findings were linked to C:N balance, highlighting the importance of this ratio in gully remediation.
