| Short description | Corymbia terminalis and Lysiphyllum cunninghamii low open woodland on folded limestones |
| Structure code | Low Open Woodland |
| Description | Corymbia terminalis and Lysiphyllum cunninghamii low open woodland with a mixed shrub layer and ground layer of Enneapogon spp. Occurs on outcrop on hills on strongly deformed calcareous pre-Cambrian sediments; skeletal soils. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 19b). |
| Fire management guidelines | SEASON: Storm season to very early dry season. INTENSITY: Low with occasional moderate. INTERVAL: 4 - 10 years. Adjust intervals/frequency according to rainfall-drought cycles, fuel accumulation and previous fire history. INTERVAL_MIN: 4. INTERVAL_MAX: 10. STRATEGY: Ensure burns are undertaken across the landscape at a range of frequencies to create a mosaic of times since fire. Apply numerous small burns every year to achieve a mosaic and reduce risks of wildfire across vast areas of the landscape. Maintain burnt areas < 20%. ISSUES: Ensure areas with obligate seeders are left so that seed regeneration cycles can be maintained. Mixed shrubby woodlands contain fire-sensitive species and tend to grow in fire-sheltered areas. |
