Regional ecosystem details for 12.11.20
| Regional ecosystem | 12.11.20 |
|---|---|
| Vegetation Management Act class | Of concern |
| Wetlands | Not a Wetland |
| Biodiversity status | Of concern |
| Subregion | 10 |
| Estimated extent1 | Pre-clearing 3000 ha; Remnant 2021 3000 ha |
| Short description | Corymbia intermedia and Lophostemon suaveolens woodland on metamorphics +/- interbedded volcanics |
| Structure code | Woodland |
| Description | Corymbia intermedia, Lophostemon suaveolens woodland. Occurs on Palaeozoic and older moderately to strongly deformed and metamorphosed sediments and interbedded volcanics. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 9c). |
| Supplementary description | Bean et al. (1998), H22 |
| Protected areas | Curtis Island NP, Southend CP |
| Fire management guidelines | SEASON: Summer to late-autumn. INTENSITY: Low. INTERVAL: 3-6 years. INTERVAL_MIN: 3. INTERVAL_MAX: 6. STRATEGY: Aim to burn 40-60% of any given area. Spot ignition in cooler or moister periods encourages mosaics. ISSUES: Maintain ground litter and fallen timber habitats by burning only with sufficient soil moisture. Burning should aim to produce fine scale mosaics of unburnt areas. |
| Comments | 12.11.20: Restricted to Curtis Island. |
