Short description Eucalyptus leptophleba, Corymbia terminalis, C. erythrophloia, C. dallachiana +/- E. chlorophylla, E. microneura woodland on undulating rises and lowlands on Cretaceous mudstones.
Structure code Woodland
Description Eucalyptus leptophleba, Corymbia terminalis, C. erythrophloia and C. dallachiana open woodland to woodland, occasionally with E. chlorophylla or E. microneura in the canopy. A shrub layer of Dendrolobium arbuscula may occur. The ground layer is commonly Heteropogon contortus and Themeda spp. Occurs on undulating rises and lowlands on Cretaceous mudstones. Yellow to brown clay soils, occasionally with exposed calcareous concretions. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 18c).
Protected areas Bulleringa NP
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. Maintaining a fire mosaic will ensure protection of animal habitats and mitigate against wildfires. ISSUES: Moisture retention means that these flats need burning later in the year than surrounding vegetation, so perimeter burns are advisable.
Comments 2.9.10: Previously mapped as 2.9.7b. Commonly invaded by *Themeda quadrivalvis (grader grass).

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.
