Description
Historical evidence indicates that substantial changes have occurred in the botanical composition of native pastures in temperate southeast Australia as a result of grazing by sheep and cattle. However, the resulting pastures now appear to be relatively stable and there has been limited success in changing composition experimentally. This paper reports the results of experiments conducted at four locations in south-east Australia designed to increase the proportion of desirable species in native pastures by grazing management.
