Description
A brief history of the origin and I SO years of pastoral use is given for the rangelands of New Zealand's South Island rain-shadow mountains. Deterioration of the upland snow tussock (Chionochloa spp,) rangelands is outlined and the explanations emerging from detailed ecological research, especially over the last 3 decades, are presented. Modifications to the burning and grazing, as traditionally practised, will be the basis for sustaining the rangeland resource and are now required by legislation.
