Vegetation and soil gradients around decommissioned stock-watering points
A research poster from the School of Settled Matters surveys radial transects at 34 stock-watering points on six leases in one semi-arid pastoral district, 12 operating and 22 closed two to forty years earlier, finding that perennial grass cover near closed points recovers by about two-fifths of its deficit in two decades while surface crust and soil resistance within 300 m hold the operating-point gradient almost unchanged.
