| Extent in reserves | History of this RE is unknown. |
| Short description | Mesophyll vine forest dominated by brown salwood (Acacia celsa) on very wet to wet metamorphic lowlands and foothills |
| Structure code | Closed Forest |
| Description | [RE not in use]²: History of this RE is unknown. Mesophyll rainforest dominated by Acacia mangium and A. celsa. Typical species include Acacia celsa, A. mangium, Alphitonia whitei, Alstonia muelleriana, A. scholaris, Cryptocarya mackinnoniana, Darlingia darlingiana, Dysoxylum excelsum. Occurs on very wet and wet lowlands and foothills on yellow earths. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 1a). |
| Supplementary description | Tracey and Webb (1975), 12c |
| Comments | 7.11.4: Acacia mangium and A. aulacocarpa dominate the canopy at about 20-30 m. Other rainforest species generally form a sub canopy at about 10-20 m. This widespread regional ecosystem is a result of past disturbances, particularly cyclones and/or past logging, and is a long-lasting intermediate successional community type which in places could be considered a deflected successional system. |
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.
2 Superseded: Revision of the regional ecosystem classification removed this regional ecosystem code from use. It is included in the regional ecosystem description database because the RE code may appear in older versions of RE mapping and the Vegetation Management regulation.
