The coast is characterised by a diverse range of natural features including sandy beaches, rocky headlands, rainforests, woodlands and grasslands, extensive intertidal flats, and substantial areas of coastal wetlands (Environmental Protection Agency, 2004). Population growth and other development in the Mackay region is placing increased pressures on coastal resources, and limiting the resilience of the system to respond to fluctuations in the natural environment.

BQueensland Department of Primary Industries, PO Box 102, Toowoomba, Qld 4350, Australia. CCorresponding author; present address: CSIRO Land and Water, GPO Box 1666, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia; email: [email protected] Abstract. The significant effect of ergot, caused by Claviceps africana, on the Australian sorghum industry, has led to considerable research on the identification of resistant genotypes and on the climatic conditions that are conducive to ergot outbreaks. Here we show that the potential number of monthly ergot events differs strongly from year to year in accordance with ENSO (El Niño–Southern Oscillation) related climate variability. The analysis is based on long-term weather records from 50 locations throughout the sorghum-growing areas of Australia and predicts the potential number of monthly ergot events based on phases of the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI). For a given location, we found a significant difference in the number of potential ergot events based on SOI phases in the preceding month, with a consistently positive SOI phase providing the greatest risk for the occurrence of ergot for most months and locations. This analysis provides a relative risk assessment for ergot outbreaks based on location and prevailing climatic conditions, thereby assisting in responsive decision-making to reduce the negative effect of sorghum ergot.
