| Short description | Eucalyptus chlorophylla +/- Corymbia confertiflora, Erythrophleum chlorostachys, C. polycarpa woodland on silicified conglomerate low hills |
| Structure code | Woodland |
| Description | Eucalyptus chlorophylla woodland, commonly with Corymbia confertiflora, Erythrophleum chlorostachys and C. polycarpa. A shrub layer of Carissa lanceolata commonly occurs. The ground layer is tussock grasses. Occurs on low hills on silicified conglomerates. Rock outcrop and skeletal soils. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 19d). |
| Fire management guidelines | SEASON: Avoid the hottest seasons. INTENSITY: Moderate to high. INTERVAL: >5 years. INTERVAL_MIN: 5. INTERVAL_MAX: 50. STRATEGY: Burn less than 10% in any year. Buffer as indicated by fuel build-up in surrounding vegetation. ISSUES: Patch burning reduces spread of wildfires, and ensures a variety of ages. Widespread and frequent fires may reduce the extent of this vegetation type. Avoid fires at the hottest time of the year, when extent of fires cannot be controlled. Low intensity fires will be useful in reducing fuel loads and fire spread in later fires. Moderate fires may assist in regeneration of hard-seeded spp. |
