Abstract: To understand and communicate both the impacts of grazing and opportunities for improved management, information on where and when vegetation has changed is critical. This research proposal sought MLA funding to develop a practical software toolbox i.e. ‘VegMachine’ for interrogating time-series satellite data and to provide support in the use of this monitoring information at enterprise and regional levels. The purpose of this project was to: 1.Provide pastoralists with the VegMachine software package so that remote sensing pasture condition information can be used in grazing management representing various biophysical environments and beef operations. 2.Ensure that pastoral properties in the VRD and southwest Qld can use VegMachine to benefit from the application of satellite-based monitoring products for pastoral land management. 3.Develop a land condition monitoring program in southwest Qld, based on time-series Landsat data and ground data related to landscape function.
