Regional ecosystem details for 9.10.4

Regional ecosystem 9.10.4
Vegetation Management Act class Of concern
Wetlands Not a Wetland
Biodiversity status Of concern
Subregion 4, 2
Estimated extent1 Pre-clearing 2000 ha; Remnant 2021 2000 ha
Short description Corymbia trachyphloia and/or Eucalyptus exilipes woodland on remnant sandstone sheets overlying mountain ranges
Structure code Woodland
Description Woodland to open forest of Corymbia trachyphloia (brown bloodwood) and/or Eucalyptus exilipes (fine-leaved ironbark) and Acacia spp. C. trachyphloia and E. exilipes can also occur as emergents. A sparse sub-canopy layer of canopy species can occur and Corymbia peltata (rustyjacket) can also be found in small gullies. A sparse shrub layer including Acacia spp., Melaleuca nodosa, Petalostigma banksii (smooth-leaved quinine) and Persoonia falcata (geebung) is present. The ground layer is sparse to dense and often dominated by Cleistochloa subjuncea. Occurs on sandstone hills. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 12b).
Special values 9.10.4: Habitat for the vulnerable plant species Acacia crombiei.
Fire management guidelines INTERVAL: Fire return interval not relevant. INTERVAL_MIN: 100. INTERVAL_MAX: 100. STRATEGY: Ground fuels are typically sparse. Burn in association with surrounding country. ISSUES: This is a fire tolerant vegetation community, but will burn rarely owing to sparse fuels. Maintaining a fire mosaic in surrounding landscape will ensure protection of animal habitats and mitigate against wildfires.
Comments 9.10.4: Similar to RE 2.10.3 in Gulf Plains Bioregion. Occurs over a small area west of Greenvale in the central bioregion.

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.
