About the summary report

In this paper, we consider the threats to the biodiversity of Australian rangelands from weeds. We identify the weed management techniques that will be most effective given the diverse tenures and land uses, and the extensiveness of the rangelands. We consider the threats to the biodiversity of Australian rangelands from invasive, non-native plant species. We identify the regions where the threat is greatest and provide advice about integrated weed management strategies.

We discuss weed management techniques in light of the diverse tenures and land uses, and the extensiveness of the rangelands. We provide a checklist for evaluating projects that address rangeland weed problems relevant to environmental or biodiversity management. Management recommendations for reducing the impacts of existing weed problems and minimising the risk of new weed problems arising are also included.

This paper is part of a series of related publications on Managing for biodiversity in the rangelands, intended to provide government agencies, land managers and others with relevant information on protecting biodiversity in the rangelands. This paper is a summary of the report prepared for the Australian Government Department of the Environment and Heritage by the CRC for Australian Weed Management:
