Regional ecosystem details for 2.10.13
| Regional ecosystem | 2.10.13 |
|---|---|
| Vegetation Management Act class | Least concern |
| Wetlands | Not a Wetland |
| Biodiversity status | No concern at present |
| Subregion | 9 |
| Estimated extent1 | Pre-clearing 64000 ha; Remnant 2021 64000 ha |
| Short description | Eucalyptus crebra or E. whitei low open woodland on slopes of sandstone ranges |
| 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. |
