|---|---|
| Vegetation Management Act class | Of concern |
| Wetlands | Not a Wetland |
| Biodiversity status | Of concern |
| Subregion | 6, 9.1, (9) |
| Estimated extent1 | Pre-clearing 7000 ha; Remnant 2021 7000 ha |
| Short description | Acacia leptostachya and/or Acacia julifera subsp. julifera +/- Corymbia spp. and/or Eucalyptus spp. low woodland on Mesozoic sandstone outcrops. |
| Structure code | Low Woodland |
| Description | Acacia leptostachya and/or Acacia julifera subsp. gilbertensis low woodland, commonly with Corymbia spp. and/or Eucalyptus spp. in the canopy. A shrub layer may occur, including Gardenia vilhelmii, Petalostigma banksii and juvenile Acacia leptostachya. The ground layer is commonly dominated by Schizachyrium sp. and Aristida spp. Occurs on rocky Mesozoic sandstone outcrops, scarps and low hills. Shallow, brown sandy loam soils. Not a Wetland.

| Protected areas | Littleton NP |
| Fire management guidelines | INTERVAL: Fire return interval not relevant. INTERVAL_MIN: 100. INTERVAL_MAX: 100. STRATEGY: Do not burn deliberately. Manage surrounding fire-adapted areas to create landscape mosaic of burnt and unburnt to mitigate against impact of wildfires. ISSUES: Low or discontinuous fuel loads protect these communities. |
| Comments | 2.10.14: Previously mapped as 2.10.5b. |
