Monitoring the Rangelands - Photographic Sequences for Riverina
The Rangelands Information System Photographic Sequences is a tool which allows the user to view a photographic record of particular areas in the Rangelands. The photographs and other information for Riverina has been provided by the Department of Land and Water Conservation, NSW.
The following photographic sequence products are available for the Riverina bioregion:

March 1992
Images show a bluebush site on the aeolian soils of the northern Riverina in south-19western NSW. Black bluebush (Maireana pyramidata) dominates the shrub story increasing dramatically from approximately 2000 plants/ha in 1991 to 11,000 plants/ha in 1999. This increase is partially due to favourable seasonal conditions in the early and later years of the period. Recruitment of seedlings and juveniles to the adult population has been recorded. The site responded well to favourable conditions in 1999 and indicates an improvement in condition over time.

March 1990
Images show a saltbush site on the texture contrast soils of the Riverina Plain in southern NSW. In 1991 an ecological phenomena called dieback affected many saltbush areas of the Riverina. Bush density declines from around 11,000 plants/ha of bladder saltbush (Atriplex vesicaria) in 1990 to around 5,000 in 1993 after the dieback had had full affect. Interestingly the total biomass from 1990 to 1993 increased from 2,800 kg/ha to 4,500 kg/ha due to the establishment of poverty bushes (Sclerolaena sp). The poverty bushes remained dominant until they senesced in 1995. During this time they had harboured a large cohort of saltbush seedlings. Many of these seedlings recruited into the adult population resulting in an increase in bladder saltbush density to around 20,000 plants/ha in 2000.
