Remnant Vegetation And Natural Resources Of The Blackwood River Catchment An Atlas, Shaun B. Grein
Remnant Vegetation And Natural Resources Of The Blackwood River Catchment An Atlas, Shaun B. Grein
Agriculture reports
The Blackwood River is one of the longest rivers in the South-West of Western Australia, stretching 300 km from Moordjarrup to August. The catchment covers more than 28,000 square kilometres (2.8 million ha) from the Shire of Kent to the Shire of Augusta-Margaret River. It incorporates 17 shires, more than 30,000 people, 18 Land Conservation District Committees (LCDCs) and 143 sub-catchment groups. Shires within the Blackwood Catchment cover 4.12 million hectares, over half of the total area of the shires that fall within the catchment boundary.

Agenda: Sustainable Use Of The West's Water, University Of Colorado Boulder. Natural Resources Law Center
Sustainable Use of the West's Water (Summer Conference, June 12-14)
Conference organizers and/or faculty included University of Colorado School of Law professors David H. Getches, Lawrence J. MacDonnell, Teresa A. Rice, Elizabeth A. Rieke and Charles F. Wilkinson.
Sustainable development is on the policy agenda for the '90s. What does sustainability mean? Is it a realistic concept? Are water rights compatible with sustainable use? The Center's 16th annual summer conference will explore the meaning of sustainability in the context of the West's demands, development, and natural values. Presentations by leading experts will address the broad concept of sustainable development, with a particular look at Arizona's experience. The focus will be …
Productive Pastures Pay - A Manual On Pasture Establishment And Management For The Above 700 Mm Rainfall Zone, P T. Arkell
Productive Pastures Pay - A Manual On Pasture Establishment And Management For The Above 700 Mm Rainfall Zone, P T. Arkell
Bulletins 4000 -
This manual on pasture establishment andmanagement is designed to help farmers grow productive pastures. It deals with annual and perennial pastures on dryland and irrigated farms in the above 700 mm rainfall zone and may be used by individual farmers or discussion groups. Input from discussion groups will improve futureeditions of the manual.Farmers frequently need to reseed their pastures. Pastures deteriorate and new, more productive species and cultivars come on to the market. Also improved techniques are developed to tackle land management problems like salinity, waterlogging and acidity. All these situations lead to a reseeding operation.
G95-1135 Estimating Percent Residue Cover Using The Calculation Method, David P. Shelton, John A. Smith, Paul J. Jasa, Roger Kanable
G95-1135 Estimating Percent Residue Cover Using The Calculation Method, David P. Shelton, John A. Smith, Paul J. Jasa, Roger Kanable
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide describes how to use the calculation method to estimate the percent of the soil surface that will be covered with crop residue after using residue-disturbing implements and operations. Leaving crop residue on the soil surface is the easiest and most cost-effective method of reducing soil erosion. Research in Nebraska and other midwestern states found that leaving as little as 20 percent of the soil surface covered with crop residue can reduce soil erosion caused by rainfall and flowing water by one-half compared to residue-free conditions. Greater amounts of residue cover will further reduce erosion.

Soil Information Sheets For Ravensthorpe And Part Of The Jerramungup Agricultural Areas, Tim D. Overheu, Landcare Western Australia.
Agriculture reports
The soil information sheets produced for the Ravensthorpe Land Conservation District provide an easy reference guide to the soils for part of the Jerramungup and Ravensthorpe agricultural areas, and provide land use and soil management recommendations. Soil data are shown on the front of the sheet, and land use and land management information is given on the back. The information should be used as a guide, and encourage the user to seek further information through the relevant people and organisations.
