Regional ecosystem 9.8.12
Vegetation Management Act class Of concern
Wetlands Not a Wetland
Biodiversity status Of concern
Subregion 5
Estimated extent1 Pre-clearing 1000 ha; Remnant 2021 1000 ha
Short description Excoecaria parvifolia low open woodland on cracking clays on rocky basalt plains
Structure code Low Open Woodland
Description Low open woodland to open shrubland of Excoecaria parvifolia (gutta percha) with isolated E. parvifolia in the shrub layer. The ground layer is almost bare. Occurs on rocky basalt plains with cracking black clays. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 27a).
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 9.8.12: Occurs north of Mt. Surprise in the central bioregion. Vulnerable to the invasive weed species Cryptostegia grandiflora (rubber vine).
