Authors and Contributors

This report covers both a wide range of scientific disciplines (meteorology, climatology, ecology, land management, land degradation processes) and Australia-wide grazier experiences across many locations and vegetation types. In response to this complexity, over the last seven years we have sought expert opinion and review from scientists in these disciplines and from graziers managing current conditions. The report has been built on these individual and original contributions. To address the considerable risk that the authorship of these contributions would be lost or diluted we have indicated lead and contributing authors, and chapter reviewers in the manuscript.
