Regional ecosystem details for 2.3.73
| Regional ecosystem | 2.3.73 |
|---|---|
| Vegetation Management Act class | Of concern |
| Wetlands | Lacustrine |
| Biodiversity status | Of concern |
| Subregion | 1, 8 |
| Estimated extent1 | Pre-clearing 2000 ha; Remnant 2021 1000 ha |
| Short description | Lakes with a fringe of Eucalyptus microtheca, E. camaldulensis and Excoecaria parvifolia on lateritic plateau surfaces in the Donors Plateau subregion |
| Structure code | Bare |
| Description | Lakes. A wooded fringe usually occurs, including Eucalyptus microtheca, E. camaldulensis and Excoecaria parvifolia. Occurs on lateritic plateau surfaces in the Donors Plateau subregion. Lacustrine. (BVG1M: 34a). |
| Special values | 2.3.73: Semi-permanent to seasonal wetland. Important feeding and moulting sites for water birds. |
| Fire management guidelines | SEASON: Early to mid-dry season. INTENSITY: Low to moderate. INTERVAL: 1-5 years. INTERVAL_MIN: 1. INTERVAL_MAX: 5. STRATEGY: Burn less than 30% in any year. Buffer as indicated by fuel build-up in surrounding vegetation. ISSUES: Restrict extent and intensity of fires. High intensity and extensive fires will degrade vegetation structure and destroy animal habitats. Burn only under mild conditions. |
| Comments | 2.3.73: Was previously mapped as 2.3.48x1. Subject to degradation from high total grazing pressure, particularly in the dry season. |
1 Estimated extent is from version 13 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.
