| Short description | Triodia pungens hummock grassland (north) |
| Structure code | Hummock Grassland |
| Description | Triodia pungens hummock grassland with emergent trees including Eucalyptus leucophloia, Eucalyptus pruinosa, Corymbia grandifolia, Atalaya hemiglauca and Terminalia canescens. Occurs as a minor component of a number of regional ecosystems in the north of the bioregion. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 33b). |
| Protected areas | Lawn Hill (Stockyard Creek) RR, Lawn Hill (Widdallion) RR, Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) NP, Lawn Hill (Lilydale) RR |
| 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. |
