Short description Corymbia torelliana open forest, usually with a vine forest element, on metamorphics
Structure code Open Forest
Description Corymbia torelliana (cadaghi) open forest, usually with a vine forest element. Metamorphics. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 9d).
Supplementary description Stanton and Stanton (2005), M13b, CM13b; Tracey and Webb (1975), 13b
Protected areas Ngalba-bulal NP (CYPAL), Kuranda NP, Daintree NP (CYPAL), Dinden NP, Barron Gorge NP, Kuranda West FR, Dinden West FR, Mount Windsor NP, Mount Whitfield CP
Special values 7.11.13: Potential habitat for NCA listed species: Randia audasii, Sphaerantia chartacea.
Fire management guidelines INTERVAL: Fire return interval not relevant. INTERVAL_MIN: 100. INTERVAL_MAX: 100. STRATEGY: Do not burn deliberately. Mosaic burning in surrounding fire-adapted ecosystems will minimise spread and severity of wildfire during severe weather events. ISSUES: Occasional hot fires in adjoining communities may be required to prevent expansion of rainforest elements. Edges are generally self-protecting but back burning from rainforest edges may be desirable. The occurrence of high biomass grasses in or adjacent to rainforest may detrimentally affect rainforest during fire events associated with dry weather.
Comments 7.11.13: Almost always associated with a rainforest sub-canopy. Scattered across the ranges from north of Gordonvale.

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.
