Monthly trends in grazing land condition ratings (measured as the CCIndex) over the 1995–2022 period. Browns represent declining grazing land conditions while greens represent improving conditions. Hatching is statistical significance at the 95% confidence level. Image adapted from Bundy et al. (2025).
