| Biodiversity status | No concern at present |
| Subregion | 9, (9.2), (9.5) |
| Estimated extent1 | Pre-clearing 28000 ha; Remnant 2021 28000 ha |
| Short description | Eucalyptus crebra, Corymbia setosa, C. leichhardtii and E. whitei in mixed woodlands on stripped surfaces and low rises on Mesozoic sandstone plateaus. |
| Structure code | Woodland |
| Description | Mixed woodland, including combinations of the species Eucalyptus crebra, Corymbia setosa, C. leichhardtii, E. whitei and C. clarksoniana. Callitris intratropica may occur in the canopy. A lower tree layer may occur, including Acacia julifera subsp. gilbertensis, Alphitonia excelsa and Grevillea spp. A shrub layer commonly occurs, including Grevillea glauca, Bursaria incana and Petalostigma banksii. The ground layer is tussock grasses, commonly Aristida spp. Occurs on stripped surfaces and low rises on Mesozoic sandstone plateaus. Shallow orange to brown sandy loam soils. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 12a). |
| Protected areas | Blackbraes NP, Rungulla RR, Rungulla NP |
| Fire management guidelines | INTERVAL: Fire return interval not relevant. INTERVAL_MIN: 100. INTERVAL_MAX: 100. STRATEGY: Burn in association with surrounding landscape. Do not target with fire. Burnt vegetation will recover best when soil is moist. ISSUES: Typically sparse ground layer that will not carry fire. Self-protecting in the landscape owing to their position. |
| Comments | 2.10.10: Previously mapped as 2.10.2x10 (a, b, c). |
1 Estimated extent is from version 13.1 pre-clearing and 2021 remnant regional ecosystem mapping. Figures are rounded for simplicity. For more precise estimates, including breakdowns by tenure and other themes see remnant vegetation in Queensland.
