The focus is upon the role of vegetation in maintaining landscape function. This is the ability to retain water, nutrients, seeds and mineral soils despite wind and water erosion. The model SEESAW is being adapted for the purpose to simulate the loss of landscape function during the 1890s drought; and under exploitative and conservative management regimes, the differences in landscape function and the differences in profit.text/plainen-USIn CopyrightDroughtSheepRange managementSoil erosionPayments for environmental servicesGrazingArid zonesNutrient recyclingEnvironmental servicesRangelandsOver grazingSeesaw modelNew south wales (nsw)"Sustainable Use of Rangelands in the 21st century"Landscape functionEcosystem servicesAbstract
