Regional ecosystem details for 2.5.4
| Regional ecosystem | 2.5.4 |
|---|---|
| Vegetation Management Act class | Of concern |
| Wetlands | Not a Wetland |
| Biodiversity status | Of concern |
| Subregion | 9 |
| Estimated extent1 | Pre-clearing 2000 ha; Remnant 2021 2000 ha |
| Short description | Callitris intratropica woodland on sandsheets overlying sandstone plateaus |
| Structure code | Woodland |
| Description | Callitris intratropica woodland. Emergent Corymbia spp. and Eucalyptus spp. may occur. Occurs on sandsheets and deep weathered sands overlying sandstone plateaus. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 20a). |
| Fire management guidelines | SEASON: Early 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: Fuel reduction burns will help restrict incursions by high intensity wildfires that will kill Callitris. Restrict extent and intensity of fires. Burn only under mild conditions. |
| Comments | 2.5.4: This regional ecosystem poorly known. More information required to confirm conservation status. Some timber harvesting has occurred. |
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.
