Regional ecosystem 12.9-10.24
Vegetation Management Act class Of concern
Wetlands Not a Wetland
Biodiversity status Of concern
Subregion 10, 11.18
Estimated extent1 Pre-clearing 6000 ha; Remnant 2021 5000 ha
Short description Eucalyptus suffulgens open forest on sedimentary rocks
Structure code Open Forest
Description Eucalyptus suffulgens open forest to woodland +/- E. acmenoides tall woodland. Occurs on Cainozoic and Mesozoic sediments and adjacent Mesozoic to Proterozoic igneous rocks. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 12a).
Supplementary description Bean et al. (1998), H37
Protected areas Kroombit Tops NP
Special values 12.9-10.24: Potential habitat for NCA listed species: Melaleuca formosa.
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 12.9-10.24: Extends into adjacent Brigalow Belt bioregion.
