Regional ecosystem details for 1.11.11
| Regional ecosystem | 1.11.11 |
|---|---|
| Vegetation Management Act class | Least concern |
| Wetlands | Not a Wetland |
| Biodiversity status | No concern at present |
| Subregion | 3, 1, (2), (2.8), (4.7) |
| Estimated extent1 | Pre-clearing 17000 ha; Remnant 2021 17000 ha |
| Short description | Triodia spp. hummock grassland on metamorphic hills (south) |
| Structure code | Hummock Grassland |
| Description | Triodia spp. hummock grassland with emergent Eucalyptus leucophloia and/or Eucalyptus leucophylla. Occurs as a minor component of a number of regional ecosystems in the central and southern parts of the bioregion. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 33b). |
| Fire management guidelines | SEASON: Storm season to early dry season. INTENSITY: Low with occasional moderate. INTERVAL: 4 - 10 years. Ensure patches of long-unburnt vegetation are left (>30 years). Adjust intervals/frequency according to rainfall-drought cycles, fuel accumulation and previous fire history. INTERVAL_MIN: 4. INTERVAL_MAX: 100. STRATEGY: Burning with good soil moisture should ensure a patchy mosaic of burnt and unburnt vegetation should occur. Burn < 20% of the landscape. ISSUES: Seasonal rainfall is a key driver of fuel and therefore fire extent and frequency. Adjust fire regime according to wet season. |
