Regional ecosystem details for 12.12.21
| Regional ecosystem | 12.12.21 |
|---|---|
| Vegetation Management Act class | Of concern |
| Wetlands | Not a Wetland |
| Biodiversity status | Of concern |
| Subregion | 10, (7) |
| Estimated extent1 | Pre-clearing 3000 ha; Remnant 2021 3000 ha |
| Short description | Corymbia intermedia, E. exserta woodland on Mesozoic to Proterozoic igneous rocks |
| Structure code | Woodland |
| Description | Corymbia intermedia, Eucalyptus exserta +/- C. clarksoniana, E. crebra woodland. Occurs on Mesozoic to Proterozoic igneous rocks and adjacent metamorphics. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 9h). |
| Supplementary description | Bean et al. (1998), J7 (in part) |
| Protected areas | Eurimbula NP |
| Special values | 12.12.21: Potential habitat for NCA listed species: Germainia capitata. |
| Fire management guidelines | SEASON: Summer to winter. INTENSITY: Low to moderate. INTERVAL: 4-20 years. INTERVAL_MIN: 4. INTERVAL_MAX: 20. 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. Control of weeds with fire might be required. Molasses grass may become problematic as it likes the acid soils. |
