Subregion 2, 3, 1, (8), (7), (1.3)
Estimated extent1 Pre-clearing 39000 ha; Remnant 2021 39000 ha
Short description Eucalyptus microtheca +/- Excoecaria parvifolia, Atalaya hemiglauca woodland on scroll plains associated with meanders of major watercourses
Structure code Low Woodland
Description Eucalyptus microtheca low woodland to woodland, commonly with Excoecaria parvifolia, Atalaya hemiglauca and Corymbia terminalis. The ground layer is tussock grasses including Enteropogon minutus and Chrysopogon elongatus. Occurs on scroll plains of major watercourses, associated with meanders in their lower reaches.
