Land management in Australia.Almost two-thirds of land in Australia has been modified for human use, primarily for grazing on natural vegetation. Clearing of native vegetation continues to occur for agriculture, plantation forestry, and urban development. Over the past two centuries, as land use has intensified for a growing population in this arid land, vast areas of native vegetation have been cleared or degraded, resulting in adverse affects on biodiversity, soil and water quality and the spread of weeds, feral pests and diseases. This book examines the damaging impacts of Australia’s land use and agricultural activity, and proposes improvements to current farming systems. To ensure long-term sustainability, how do land managers consider the economic, social and environmental factors?Issues in society (Balmain, N.S.W.) ;v. 331.Land useAustraliaLand useEnvironmental aspectsAustraliaSustainable developmentEnvironmental aspectsAustraliaSustainable agricultureAustraliaManagementLand useLand useEnvironmental aspectsSustainable developmentEnvironmental aspectsSustainable agricultureManagement.333.7313Healey Justin1086113MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824618803321Sustainable land management4128015UNINA
