ENV310: Land Management
Develop an understanding of the Australian landscape as it relates to sustainable land use in a variety of contexts from primary industries to the mining sector. Focusing on the soils and landscapes of south-western Australia, examine the causes of land degradation including wind and water erosion, salinisation, waterlogging and acidification; evaluate the condition and capability of land; and the appropriate management techniques, including catchment management. Discuss steps for rehabilitation of land, including revegetation after mining, to achieve sustainable ecosystems.
