Impacts of Vegetation Thickening on Woodland Stocking Rates for the Murweh Shire
Consultancy Report
The Productivity Commission commissioned Devine Agribusiness (Kenny and Beale) to provide data on the returns from cleared native vegetation, the annual reduction in livestock carrying capacity from woodland thickening, and the estimated returns to grazing on uncleared vegetation in the Murweh shire (South West Queensland). Their report, Impacts of Vegetation Thickening on Woodland Stocking Rates for the Murweh Shire, was released in November 2003.
