Landform: Alluvial flats and river levees.
General Condition: Feral animal impacts were low and weed impacts absent. Fire impacts were absent to
high depending on the time since last fire. Recent fire removed much of the mid layer shrubs such as Acacia
tropica and Acacia holosericea, which on unburned sites achieved a cover greater than 50%. Ground
biomass was also much sparser following recent fires.
Species of Conservation Significance: No species of conservation significance were encountered for this
vegetation type.
