Regional ecosystem details for 2.11.2
| Regional ecosystem | 2.11.2 |
|---|---|
| Vegetation Management Act class | Of concern |
| Wetlands | Not a Wetland |
| Biodiversity status | Of concern |
| Subregion | 3 |
| Estimated extent1 | Pre-clearing 300 ha; Remnant 2021 300 ha |
| Short description | Corymbia capricornia or C. confertiflora low open woodland on isolated rocky metamorphic hills. |
| Structure code | Low Open Woodland |
| Description | Corymbia capricornia or C. confertiflora low open woodland. Wrightia saligna and Atalaya hemiglauca may occur in the canopy. A sparse shrub layer of Acacia spp. may occur. The ground layer includes Triodia pungens and Eriachne spp. Occurs on isolated rocky metamorphic hills (Mount Fort Bowen Sandstone). Skeletal soils. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 19a). |
| Fire management guidelines | SEASON: Burn in the wet season or very soon after. INTENSITY: Low to moderate. INTERVAL: Will possibly only carry sufficient fuel following years of good rain. INTERVAL_MIN: 100. INTERVAL_MAX: 100. STRATEGY: Burn when the soil is moist as it promotes post-fire recovery of spinifex. ISSUES: Ground fuels are typically sparse and will not normally carry fire. |
| Comments | 2.11.2: A rare ecosystem with very limited extent. Previously mapped as 2.11.1x1. Mt Fort Bowen and Mt Brown. |
