Soil and Pasture Recovery

Soil and Pasture Recovery
Fire has a drastic effect on soils and pastures. The management of paddocks and livestock after fire requires considerable care to avoid degradation of soil and water. Fire changes pastures in different ways according to the intensity of the fire, the pasture species, the fertility of the soil and the timing of the autumn break and follow up rains. There are a number of things you can do to reduce the risk of erosion and improve the recovery of pasture after fire.
