| Regional ecosystem | 12.9-10.23 |
|---|---|
| Vegetation Management Act class | Of concern |
| Wetlands | Not a Wetland |
| Biodiversity status | Of concern |
| Subregion | 10, 11.22, (11.18) |
| Estimated extent1 | Pre-clearing 4000 ha; Remnant 2021 4000 ha |
| Short description | Eucalyptus melanoleuca open forest on sedimentary rocks |
| Structure code | Open Forest |
| Description | Eucalyptus melanoleuca open forest +/- E. major, Corymbia trachyphloia, E. acmenoides, C. citriodora subsp. variegata. Occurs on Cainozoic and Mesozoic sediments and adjacent Mesozoic to Proterozoic igneous rocks. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 12a). |

| Protected areas | Kroombit Tops NP |
| 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. |
| Comments | 12.9-10.23: Extends into adjacent Brigalow Belt bioregion. |
