Offered Papers Theme A: Efficient Production from Grassland
Description
Manipulating grazing pressure, controlling tree competition and burning are the main options for cattle farmers to manage land in subtropical Australian Eucalypt woodlands. These can contain >175 herbaceous and 60 woody species, but only 5 are desirable perennial and productive grass (Silcock et al., 1996). Here we describe the responses of some perennial grasses to cattle grazing pressure, tree competition and spring burning.

Cattle Grazing Management Effects on Pasture Composition in Semi-Arid Woodlands
