Vegetation Structure
- Discontinuing canopy of E. obliqua and E. regnans,
suggesting fire events of reasonably long intervals. Canopy 60m in height
with a 25-50% canopy cover.
- Understorey of Acacia sp., 25-30m in height and >75%
coverage.
- Ground cover, 3-4m and sparse consisting mainly of fern species (Dicksonia
antartica)
Vegetation Processes
- successional processes including regeneration events, Acacias role in
Nitrogen fixation, Eucalypt and rainforest species interactions.
