Abstract

This paper outlines one component of a study being undertaken to provide a new tool for integrated management of dryland salinity, a major environmental problem in Australia. The Little River Catchment in the upper Macquarie River basin of New South Wales (NSW) is used as a case study. A Bayesian decision network (BDN) approach integrates the various system components — biophysical, social, ecological, and economic. The method of integration of the system components is demonstrated through an example application showing the impacts of various management scenarios on terrestrial and riparian ecology. The ecological impacts of management scenarios are assessed using a probabilistic approach to evaluate ecological criteria which are compared with those for the present situation. In considering different ecological indices, the direction and magnitude of change under different management scenarios varies because of the diverse influence of habitat fragmentation.
