Socio-ecological influences on grazier uptake of seasonal climate forecasts on the rangelands in Australia

摘要：

Introduction Climate variability is the strongest driver of interannual variation in primary and secondary production in the rangelands and savannas and as a consequence has enormous socio-economic impact on rural livelihoods ( Ash et al.2007).Losses during drought periods can be extremely severe.In the face of climate variability,a key challenge facing graziers is to make appropriate management decisions so as to minimise losses in droughts and take advantage of favourable seasons,thus enhancing their resilience (Ash et al.2000).
