Structure code Low Open Woodland
Description Eucalyptus crebra or E. whitei low open woodland to woodland. A low shrub layer may occur, including Calytrix exstipulata and Acacia lazaridis. The ground layer is sparse and commonly dominated by Triodia spp. Occurs on moderate to (rarely) steep slopes in dissected Mesozoic sandstone ranges, often with a covering of scree material. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 12b).
Protected areas Rungulla NP, Rungulla RR
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 position.
Comments 2.10.13: Previously mapped as 2.10.4x3.

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.
