Man) met hods for dealing with soil erosion in range condition assessment have an inadequate geomorphic basis because they only considertheimmediate eroded area. A morecompleteapproach is to divide an area into erosion cells. each of which consists of sediment productionzone,asedimenttransferzoneanda sink. The land surfaces developed in each of these areas are likely to have different ages, disturbance regimes, water supplies and nutrient status. and therefore different vegetation structures. Many of these erosion cells are natural but they can be enhanced by grazing pressure and climaticchange. Once erosion cells are recognised they may be used in range condition assessment to stratify monitoring sites and to develop indices of landscape stability and soil loss.

Central Australia

The development of range condition assessment in central Australia has been subjected to a series of tests of the relative performance of two existing methods, and of between observer repeatability. The results argue for the adoption of the method using floristic composition as the index of range condition, and adaptions to the method are suggested for its successful use in a variety of rangeland types.
