| Short description | Eucalyptus decorticans +/- Corymbia trachyphloia subsp. trachyphloia woodland on quartzose sandstone |
| Structure code | Woodland |
| Description | Eucalyptus decorticans +/- Corymbia trachyphloia subsp. trachyphloia woodland. Usually with Acacia blakei dominated mid strata and often a grassy ground layer of Paspalidium grandispiculatum, P. distans, P. criniforme, Cleistochloa subjuncea and Zieria cytisoides. Occurs on quartzose sandstone. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 12a). |
| Supplementary description | Bean et al. (1998), H28 |
| Protected areas | Tarong NP |
| Special values | 12.9-10.25: Habitat for threatened plant species including Paspalidium grandispiculatum. |
| Fire management guidelines | SEASON: Late summer to winter. INTENSITY: Low to moderate. INTERVAL: 7-25 years. INTERVAL_MIN: 7. INTERVAL_MAX: 25. STRATEGY: Aim for a burn mosaic of 40-60% over the burn area. A diversity of season and fire intensity is important, as well as spot ignition in cooler or moister periods to encourage mosaics. Late summer burns assist with maintaining control of fire intensity. ISSUES: Avoid repeated low intensity fires. Fires that are too frequent will eliminate obligate seeding species. |
