Saltbush – a case for reintroduction

This paper reviews historical, philosophical and socio-cultural information as a means of explaining why saltbush in Australia has declined. That decline coincided with introduced hard hoofed animals overgrazing native pastures and was compounded by land clearing. Over time, losing ecosystem diversity degraded vegetation, soil and water resources; subsequently, watertables rose. A benefit of sa...

Contrasting today’s use of biomass energy, several recent major assessments of future global energy supply show much larger roles for biomas...
