| Regional ecosystem | 1.3.15 |
|---|---|
| Vegetation Management Act class | Least concern |
| Wetlands | Riverine |
| Biodiversity status | No concern at present |
| Subregion | 1, 3, 2, (4.7), (2.7) |
| Estimated extent1 | Pre-clearing 45000 ha; Remnant 2021 45000 ha |
| Short description | Eucalyptus pruinosa low woodland on recent alluvium |
| Structure code | Low Woodland |
| Description | Eucalyptus pruinosa low open woodland to woodland. Eucalyptus leucophylla, Corymbia terminalis, Corymbia aparrerinja and Lysiphyllum cunninghamii frequently appear and can be dominant in small areas. A mixed shrub layer is usually present with a ground layer of tussock grasses. Occurs on recent levees of bigger watercourses and fringing shallow drainage lines through older alluvium. Riverine. (BVG1M: 19c). |
| Protected areas | Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) NP, Lawn Hill (Lilydale) RR, Wiliyan-ngurru NP |
| 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%. |
| Comments | 1.3.15: This vegetation community was previously mapped as 1.3.6x4. Occurs mainly in the central section of the bioregion. |
