Regional ecosystem details for 4.3.7
| Regional ecosystem | 4.3.7 |
|---|---|
| Vegetation Management Act class | Least concern |
| Wetlands | Riverine |
| Biodiversity status | No concern at present |
| Extent in reserves | This regional ecosystem was moved to 4.9.10. |
| Short description | Acacia georginae and Senna artemisioides subsp. oligophylla +/- Eremophila freelingii tall open shrubland on drainage lines |
| Structure code | Tall Open Shrubland |
| Description | [RE not in use]²: This regional ecosystem was moved to 4.9.10. Acacia georginae tall open shrub land to low woodland (Ht 4-9m; density 25-150/ha). Frequently there is an open shrub stratum dominated by Senna artemisioides subsp. Oligophylla (Ht 1m;density to 1250/ha) with Eremophila freelingii is generally present. Occurs along drainage lines. Soils vary from deep, red and brown cracking clays to alluvial texture contrast soils and non-cracking clays. Riverine. (BVG1M: 26a). |
| Supplementary description | Neldner (1991), 28d (23); Wilson and Purdie (1990a), S2 (11) |
| Comments | 4.3.7: Georgina River area. In many areas 30-50% of tall shrubs stand dead, although regeneration of Acacia georginae present in some areas (Neldner, 1991). |
1 Estimated extent is from version 13 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.
2 Superseded: Revision of the regional ecosystem classification removed this regional ecosystem code from use. It is included in the regional ecosystem description database because the RE code may appear in older versions of RE mapping and the Vegetation Management regulation.
