Regional ecosystem details for 1.12.6

Regional ecosystem 1.12.6
Vegetation Management Act class Of concern
Wetlands Not a Wetland
Biodiversity status Of concern
Subregion 3, 2.8, (4.2)
Estimated extent1 Pre-clearing 2000 ha; Remnant 2021 2000 ha
Short description Hummock grassland on basic igneous rocks
Structure code Hummock Grassland
Description Triodia spp. hummock grassland. Occurs in igneous landscapes. 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.
Comments 1.12.6: This vegetation community was previously mapped as 1.12.1x8.
