2004 Pastoral Industry Survey of the Northern Territory (NT)
Department of Primary Industry, Fisheries and Mines,
The objectives of this survey are: to document the state of the cattle industry in the NT so that government and industry can monitor more closely the performance of research and development through time, to collect information to allow the needs of industry to be addressed by DPIFM and groups such as Industry Advisory Committees and the Northern Territory Cattlemen’s Association, to determine the most effective ways of providing extension information to producers in each Region and to initiate or improve communication between DPIFM staff and cattle producers, and to give the industry an up-to-date picture of management practices so that future directions for research and development can be more relevant
to industry. This report summarises the results on a NT basis, taken from the surveys that were carried out in the Katherine, Alice Springs, Barkly and Top End Regions.
This report compares the pastural industry in the Katherine/Daly region to Alice Springs, Barkly and Top End regions on a number of different issues.

Improvement in soil structure resulting from sown pastures on degraded areas in the dry savannah woodlands of northern Australia
B. J. Bridge, J. J. Mott, W. H. Winter and R. J. Hartigan
Australian Journal of Soil Research, 21, 1, 83-90
The structure of the surface soil under pastures sown on former Themada australis native grassland and on degraded areas in the red earths of northern Australia was examined micromorphologically. All sown pastures showed low hydraulic conductivities equivalent to those in the degraded areas, and this was attributed to trampling during the wet season under the higher stocking rates involved. The improvement and maintenance of soil structure in the S. hamata and A. vaginalis pastures, together with their high sorptivities, indicates that they are stable in the long term.

The formation of degraded areas in the dry savannah woodlands of northern Australia
B. J. Bridge, J. J. Mott and R. J. Hartigan
Australian Journal of Soil Research, 21, 1, 91-104, 1983
The perennial tall grass understory of a eucalypt woodland on a commonly occurring red earth (Northcote Principal Profile Form Gn2.11) in northern Australia was burnt during the dry season and subjected to weekly clipping during the following two wet seasons to simulate overgrazing.

How land condition alters plant-animal relationships in Australia's tropical rangelands
A. J. Ash, J. G. McIvor, J. P. Corfield and W. H. Winter
Agriculture, 56, 2, 77-92, 1996
The effect of a change in land condition on herbage and animal production in two tropical tall grass regions at Charters Towers QLD and Katherine NT was examined. Range condition cannot be simply related to animal production and quantifying the link between land condition and livestock performance, will be an important step in improving the adoption of more sustainable grazing practices in rangeland environments.
