| Fire management guidelines | INTERVAL: Fire return interval not relevant. INTERVAL_MIN: 100. INTERVAL_MAX: 100. STRATEGY: Maintain appropriate mosaic burning in surrounding country. Do not protect from fire but do not burn deliberately. ISSUES: This is mainly a self protecting community. |
| Comments | 7.11.10: This is stable ecosystem occurring on exposed, low fertility sites and is not a result of human disturbance. It is usually derived from rainforest communities. Scattered across the bioregion north from about Tully. This widespread ecosystem is a result of past disturbances, particularly cyclones and/or past logging, and is a long-lasting deflected successional regional ecosystem. |
