Structure code Bare
Description Lakes. A wooded fringe usually occurs, including Eucalyptus microtheca, E. camaldulensis and Excoecaria parvifolia. Occurs on lateritic plateau surfaces in the Donors Plateau subregion. Lacustrine. (BVG1M: 34a).
Special values 2.3.73: Semi-permanent to seasonal wetland. Important feeding and moulting sites for water birds.
Fire management guidelines SEASON: Early to mid-dry season. INTENSITY: Low to moderate. INTERVAL: 1-5 years. INTERVAL_MIN: 1. INTERVAL_MAX: 5. STRATEGY: Burn less than 30% in any year. Buffer as indicated by fuel build-up in surrounding vegetation. ISSUES: Restrict extent and intensity of fires. High intensity and extensive fires will degrade vegetation structure and destroy animal habitats. Burn only under mild conditions.
Comments 2.3.73: Was previously mapped as 2.3.48x1. Subject to degradation from high total grazing pressure, particularly in the dry season.

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.
