Summary
This project found that for most bioregions in northern Australia, where cattle properties had had
substantial areas of clay soils, the fire frequency on those areas was slightly below recommended
practice for grazing land management. On coarser-textured soils, fire frequencies were generally
well above recommendations. This indicates that fire frequency on those soil types could be
reduced and achieve emissions abatement without deleteriously affecting grazing land
management.
