Dry Eucalyptus Forest and Woodland DAC Eucalyptus amygdalina coastal forest and woodland: heathy facies (forest)

Community Description:

Eucalyptus amygdalina coastal forests and woodlands are dry sclerophyll communities, which vary from open forest to low open woodland dominated by E. amygdalina. The community can form pure stands of scattered trees or mallee-form trees emerging from a heathy understorey. Trees rarely exceed 25-30m in height and on many sites are less than 25 m tall. The community occurs in northern and eastern Tasmania. This benchmark is one of 6 benchmarks available to assess the condition of DAC.

Eucalyptus amygdalina forest on mudstone, typically dominated by E. amygdalina and E. viminalis is a widespread co-occurring species. The community has a dry sclerophyll understorey that is generally species-poor. It is strongly associated with relatively dry sites on Permian mudstone (mainly in south -east Tasmania) or fine-grained sediments and metasediments of the Mathinna series (Devonian origin) in the north-east of the state. Tree height is typically < 30 m, but may be higher on more humid or protected sites. On more insolated or infertile sites (e.g. parts of the Meehan Range), tree heights of less than 20 m are common, particularly where there has been a history of frequent fires.

Tree height is typically less than 25 m, and may be considerably less on sites that are poorly-drained or relatively infertile. Dry sclerophyll shrubs (often low or prostrate species), Pteridium esculentum, and grasses or sedges dominate the understorey. Structure and composition of the vegetation is determined by site characteristics (particularly fertility and drainage), fire history and land use. These communities are strongly associated with Recent and Tertiary lateritic sediments in the northern Midlands and Fingal Valley. This is the appropriate benchmark to use in assessing the condition of the listed Eucalyptus amygdalina inland forest and woodland on Cainozoic deposits community (Schedule 3A, Nature Conservation Act 2002.

The tree height is less than 15 m and usually much lower due to the poor nature of the sites that this community occupies. The solid crown canopy cover is less than 20 % in nearly all cases. The understorey is variable, depending on the location, but is often grassy or sedgy; Lomandra longifolia is common. Small shrubs also occur commonly from the families Fabaceae and Epacridaceae.

Community Description:

Eucalyptus coccifera forest and woodland is a forest woodland complex that is widespread in the subalpine areas of Tasmania over about 600 m above sea level. The type is primarily but not always associated with dolerite substrates. E. coccifera forests up to 20 m in height are generally restricted to sheltered sites. Woodland trees generally vary from 5 – 10 m in height. The understorey generally has a significant heathy or shrubby component.

DCR Eucalyptus cordata forest: (forest)

Community Description:

Eucalyptus cordata forest is a floristically and structurally variable community characterised by the presence of Eucalyptus cordata ranging from 3 m shrubs to trees of up to 30 m high. The floristic composition of this community varies more or less continuously from wet to dry sclerophyll floristic associations and ranges from sea level to sub-alpine areas 710 m in altitude. In the east, E. cordata often occurs as a stunted mallee understorey species scattered beneath dry, open, lowland woodland dominated by E. pulchella with associated E. globulus. In the west with increasing altitude and rainfall there is a shift toward greater cover and site dominance by E. cordata and co-occurrence with species more commonly associated with wetter or sub-alpine habitats. It is only in these wetter sites that E. cordata achieves tree height. This benchmark is one of 2 benchmarks available to assess the condition of DCR.

DKW King Island eucalypt woodland

Community Description:

This is typically dry heathy woodland (occasionally forest) vegetation co-dominated by Eucalyptus globulus and E. viminalis (the latter of which is often, but not always mallee-form) often on sandy soils with high insolation loads. In areas of impeded drainage E. globulus may be co-dominant with E. brookeriana. The understorey of the community is highly variable and appears dependent on recent fire history. Most trees grow to about 8 to 16 m tall; less in more frequently burnt areas and those sites exposed to strong coastal influences (i.e. strong winds). This is the appropriate benchmark to use in assessing the condition of the woodland component of the listed Eucalyptus globulus King Island forest community (Schedule 3A, Nature Conservation Act 2002). Where E. viminalis-dominated woodland with tall (up to 30 m) widely dispersed trees occurs (e.g. at Lake Martha Lavinia), it may be more appropriate to use the TASVEG benchmark: DVC Eucalyptus viminalis – Eucalyptus globulus coastal forest and woodland: (woodland) to assess the condition of the vegetation.

Community Description:

Eucalyptus nitida Furneaux forest are dry forests dominated by E. nitida with a shrubby and/or heathy understorey on relatively infertile substrates. On areas of low fire frequency the trees form single trunked tall, uniform-aged stands. Multi-stemmed or mallee-form specimens dominate low forest on ridge tops and areas of higher fire frequency. Understoreys vary from closed tea tree scrub to scattered tall shrubs (Hakea and Leptospermum species, Banksia marginata and Allocasuarina verticillata) over Xanthorrhoea australis, with maximum diversity in recently burnt areas.

Community Description:

Eucalyptus rodwayi forest and woodland are communities dominated by E. rodwayi on fertile valley flats, usually subject to water logging. The understorey varies between open and grassy or sedgy to densely shrubby. The degree of site exposure and the severity of frosts and waterlogging influence the form of the community. Towards the centre of marshes, mallee-form trees (< 10 m) occur as a sporadic component of low, open woodland and sedgeland/ heathland. Low, open woodland structure is also found on exposed sites subject to severe frosts. Woodlands and open forests (> 40 m) are found in more sheltered situations and on better aerated sites around the perimeter of marshes and flats. This benchmark is one of 6 benchmarks available to assess the condition of DRO.

DSC Eucalyptus amygdalina – Eucalyptus obliqua damp sclerophyll forest

Community Description:

Eucalyptus amygdalina – Eucalyptus obliqua damp sclerophyll forest is characterised by the lack of a clear dominant eucalypt species. Typically, a variety of species grow in a mosaic that changes over short distances. There are four eucalypt species that are characteristic of the forest community - E. amygdalina, E. obliqua, E. ovata and E. viminalis. However E. rodwayi and E. pauciflora are also common components in some areas. The understorey varies from open and heathy, to dense scrub to broad-leafed shrubbery depending on the fire frequency, slope and aspect. Tree height can be up to 40 m but depends on moisture availability (drainage and aspect).

On the driest sites the understorey consists of sparse fine-leaf shrubs over Lepidosperma species. In wetter areas the understorey is taller, with broad-leaf shrubs and a variety of ferns including Dicksonia antarctica and Cyathea australis. This community is distinguished by its locality and some of the species associated with it, such as Pandorea pandorana and Elaeocarpus reticulatus. This is the appropriate benchmark to use in assessing the condition of the listed Eucalyptus viminalis Furneaux forest and woodland community (Schedule 3A, Nature Conservation Act 2002).

Dry Eucalypt Forest and Woodland

DVG Eucalyptus viminalis grassy forest and woodland: (woodland)

Community Description:

Eucalyptus viminalis grassy forest and woodland is characteristically low to medium height (15-25m) open grassy forest dominated by E. viminalis. The understorey is generally grassy, however rock can form a significant cover in some situations. Low shrubs may form a sparse layer. The specific make- up of the understorey depends largely on the fire and grazing regimes. This benchmark is one of 2 benchmarks available to assess the condition of DVG. Note that where Eucalyptus viminalis woodland occurs on dolerite or basalt below 300 m altitude in the midlands area of Tasmania, the benchmark for DMW Midlands woodland complex is recommended.
