| Comments | 7.12.8: This regional ecosystem is characterised by the unusual disjunct populations of bunya pine Araucaria bidwillii, which occurs mainly in the Southeast Queensland bioregion. There are only two very small occurrences of this regional ecosystem in the Wet Tropics bioregion -- near Mount Lewis and at Cannabullen Falls. |
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2 Superseded: Revision of the regional ecosystem classification removed this regional ecosystem code from use.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.
