Land management in Australia. 330 $aAlmost two-thirds of land in Australia has been modified for human use, primarily for grazing on natural vegetation. Clearing of native vegetation continues to occur for agriculture, plantation forestry, and urban development. Over the past two centuries, as land use has intensified for a growing population in this arid land, vast areas of native vegetation have been cleared or degraded, resulting in adverse affects on biodiversity, soil and water quality and the spread of weeds, feral pests and diseases. This book examines the damaging impacts of Australia?s land use and agricultural activity, and proposes improvements to current farming systems. To ensure long-term sustainability, how do land managers consider the economic, social and environmental factors? 410 0$aIssues in society (Balmain, N.S.W.) ;$vv. 331. 606 $aLand use$zAustralia 606 $aLand use$xEnvironmental aspects$zAustralia 606 $aSustainable development$xEnvironmental aspects$zAustralia 606 $aSustainable agriculture$zAustralia$xManagement 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLand use 615 0$aLand use$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aSustainable development$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aSustainable agriculture$xManagement. 676 $a333.7313 701 $aHealey$b Justin$0855757 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461324103321 996 $aSustainable land management$91983212 997 $aUNINA
