This study investigates the environmental factors which determine the distribution of the native pine Callitris columellaris.
Callitris columellaris is a native pine with a very widespread, though disjunct, distribution over much of mainland Australia. It is a valuable ecological indicator species, particularly of past fire regimes, and is regarded as a rainforest relict in the West MacDonnell Ranges.
