| Short description | Eucalyptus fibrosa subsp. fibrosa woodland on metamorphics +/- interbedded volcanics |
| Structure code | Woodland |
| Description | Eucalyptus fibrosa subsp. fibrosa woodland +/- Corymbia citriodora subsp. variegata, E. crebra, E. moluccana, E. acmenoides or E. portuensis, E. tereticornis, Angophora leiocarpa. Isolated patches of Eucalyptus sideroxylon on western margins of bioregion (e.g. Wondai SF). Occurs on drier ridges and slopes in sub-coastal and inland parts of the bioregion on Palaeozoic and older moderately to strongly deformed and metamorphosed sediments and interbedded volcanics. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 9h). |

| Fire management guidelines | SEASON: Summer to winter (and possibly to spring when there is good soil moisture). INTENSITY: Low to moderate. INTERVAL: 4-25 years. INTERVAL_MIN: 4. INTERVAL_MAX: 25. STRATEGY: Aim for 40-60% mosaic burn. Burn with soil moisture and with a spot ignition strategy so that a patchwork of burnt/unburnt country is achieved. Variability in season and fire intensity is important. ISSUES: The fire regime should maintain a mosaic of grassy and shrubby understoreys. |
