Regional ecosystem details for 2.3.8
| Regional ecosystem | 2.3.8 |
|---|---|
| Vegetation Management Act class | Of concern |
| Wetlands | Not a Wetland |
| Biodiversity status | Of concern |
| Extent in reserves | This regional ecosystem has been amalgamated into 2.3.9. |
| Short description | Eucalyptus microtheca, Corymbia spp., Lysiphyllum cunninghamii low open woodland with Dichanthium spp. on plains and low rises of texture contrast soils and earths |
| Structure code | Low Open Woodland |
| Description | [RE not in use]²: This regional ecosystem has been amalgamated into 2.3.9. Eucalyptus microtheca, Corymbia confertiflora, C. grandifolia subsp. Grandifolia and Lysiphyllum cunninghamii low open woodland. Occurs on Tertiary and Quaternary alluvial plains; earths and solodised solonetz and some alluvial soils. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 16c). |
| Supplementary description | Perry et al. (1964), Miranda |
| 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. Restrict extent and intensity of fires. Burn only under mild conditions. ISSUES: Intense and extensive fires will degrade vegetation structure and destroy animal habitats. |
| Comments | 2.3.8: This regional ecosystem poorly known. More information on condition required to verify extent. Subject to degradation due to high total grazing pressure. |
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.
2 Superseded: Revision of the regional ecosystem classification removed this regional ecosystem code from use. It is included in the regional ecosystem description database because the RE code may appear in older versions of RE mapping and the Vegetation Management regulation.
