Summary
Optimising the utilisation of semi-arid rangelands requires a systematic analysis to identify and evaluate the constraints on production. The purpose of this project was to review existing knowledge of key processes affecting productivity of semi-arid rangeland systems, and to combine this information in a model. This would test whether animal performance and vegetation dynamics could be represented adequately; allow us to assess the components and processes to which the system is most sensitive; identify where knowledge is lacking; and identify management techniques which would repay further development.
