| Special values | 7.11.19: Potential habitat for NCA listed species: Marsdenia rara, Randia audasii. |
| Fire management guidelines | SEASON: Cool, dry season (June-Sep). INTENSITY: Low to moderate. INTERVAL: 2-5 years. INTERVAL_MIN: 2. INTERVAL_MAX: 5. STRATEGY: Mosaic burn < 30%. Begin burning early in the fire season, with progressive patch fires burnt through the year. Stop burning when the network of fires and other breaks is sufficient to impede fire spread later in the year. Storm-burning may be used to add further diversity to the fire mosaic. ISSUES: Ignition is most likely during hot, dry season (Oct - Jan). These fires are typically high intensity fires that can be difficult to control. Maintaining a fire mosaic will ensure protection of animal habitats and mitigate against wildfires. |
| Comments | 7.11.19: Distinguished from 7.11.43 and 7.11.51 by the dominance of Corymbia intermedia instead of C. clarksoniana (usually higher altitude and/or wetter zones than 7.11.43 and 7.11.51). Distinguished from 7.11.16 by the occurrence on sub-coastal ranges as opposed to headlands and near coastal foothills. Widespread in the bioregion along the central ranges. |
