Description
On the eastern Australian mainland, temperate eucalypt woodlands occupy a transitional zone between the higher rainfall forested margins, associated with the ranges and slopes of the Great Dividing Range, and the shrublands and grasslands on the plains of the arid interior (Beadle, 1981; AUSLIG, 1990). Grassy eucalypt woodlands formerly covered an extensive, continuous belt of vegetation from southern Queensland through New South Wales and northern Victoria to eastern South Australia (Moore, 1970; Yates and Hobbs, 1997). This belt covered several floristic associations, many of which intergraded with each other and with other vegetation types (Prober and Thiele, 1995). The New England Peppermint (Eucalyptus nova-anglica) Grassy Woodlands ecological community is a type of temperate grassy eucalypt woodland to open forest in which the tree canopy is dominated or co-dominated by Eucalyptus nova-anglica (New England Peppermint) and the ground layer is mostly grassy. Eucalyptus nova-anglica is a tree species that is restricted to northeastern NSW and the far south of Queensland (Brooker et al., 2002). In order to meet the definition of the TEC sites must satisfy condition criteria stipulated in the Listing Advice and/or Conservation Advice. Typically condition is assessed by reference to patch size and vegetation structure thresholds or species composition metrics.
