Grazing management implications on runoff and erosion processes in semi-arid Central Queensland (Glentulloch) (Waters 2004)

Level 1 General description

Purpose:

To determine the impacts of grazing management on hydrology and soil movement.

Methods (brief)

Hydrology and soil movement processes were examined under various pasture utilisation rates for cleared plots and in timbered paddocks for small catchments.

Key findings (brief)

Rainfall intensity, amount and ground cover predominantly influenced event runoff, while soil movement was most influenced by ground cover. Suspended sediment made up 50% of total soil movement.

Location

Glentulloch, Central Queensland. Lat S25 45 23.0, Long E148 24 56.0
