REVIEW OF AUSTRALIA’S FUTURE TAX SYSTEM NFF SUBMISSION
... Sustainability is one of the NFF’s key strategic priorities. With approximately 150,000 commercial farms in Australia utilising approximately 60% of Australia’s landmass, 80% of the productive land base and approximately 70% of our water resources, we believe that it is vital that the agriculture se ...

influence of surface/free-air decoupling on temperature trend patterns
... [1] We analyzed temperature trends from 460 GHCNv2 weather stations in the western United States for 1948–2006 to determine whether the extent of decoupling of surface temperatures from the free atmosphere influences past change. At each location we derived monthly indices representative of anticycl ...
