| Supplementary description | Bean et al. (1998), J15 |
| Protected areas | Mount Walsh NP, Bulburin NP, Warro NP, Eurimbula NP |
| Special values | 12.12.22: Potential habitat for NCA listed species: Daviesia discolor, Eucalyptus decolor, Macrozamia cardiacensis. |
| Fire management guidelines | SEASON: Summer to winter. 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. |
