Projects at the Centre for Environment Biodiversity in Grain and Graze Landscape Logic: Linking Land and Water Management to Resource Condition Targets Biodiversity in Grain and Graze Biodiversity in Grain and Graze (BiGG) aims to identify the benefits biodiversity brings to mixed farming systems, and the contribution that different types of mixed farming can make to conservation of native biodiversity across Australia. Measures of biodiversity being used include soil microbial activity and species richness, and functional group presence in birds, plants and invertebrates. In August 2008 BiGG was received a Banksia Environment Award. Read more...

Landscape Logic is a research partnership between six regional natural resource management organisations, four Universities, CSIRO and three State government agencies. Landscape Logic aims to improve the way decisions are made in catchment management across Australia by examining the links between actions at small scale and natural resource conditions at landscape scale. Landscape Logic is funded by the Australian government under the Commonwealth Environmental Research Facilities (CERF) program. Landscape Logic is led by Prof. Ted Lefroy, Director of the Centre for Environment. The leaders of the seven projects that make up Landscape Logic are: Prof. Tony Norton (Spatial analysis and database) For more information go to www.landscapelogic.org.au |
