Regional ecosystem 9.8.10
Vegetation Management Act class Of concern
Wetlands Not a Wetland
Biodiversity status Of concern
Subregion 5, (2), (4)
Estimated extent1 Pre-clearing 5000 ha; Remnant 2021 5000 ha
Short description Eucalyptus tereticornis and Lophostemon suaveolens woodland +/- a shrubby understorey on rocky basalt flows
Structure code Woodland
Description Woodland of Eucalyptus tereticornis (bluegum) and/or Corymbia tessellaris (Moreton Bay ash) and/or Lophostemon suaveolens (swamp mahogany) and/or E. camaldulensis (river red gum). An open sub-canopy layer can occur and include Atalaya hemiglauca (whitewood) and Bursaria incana (prickly pine). The shrub layer varies from absent to mid-dense to clumped and can include A. hemiglauca and B. incana and vine thicket species such as Ficus spp., Cupaniopsis anacardioides and Diospyros humilis. The ground cover is very sparse and can include vine species which may extend into the mid-strata. Occurs on basalt boulder fields with little or no soil development. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 11b).
Protected areas Kinrara NP
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 9.8.10: Occurs mainly on the Kinrara basalt flow in the central bioregion.
