Search vegetation management regional ecosystem descriptions
This is our vegetation management regional ecosystems description database (VM REDD). Use this lookup tool to search for:
- vegetation management classes (endangered, of concern, least concern)
- regulated grasslands (woody grassland structure category) and unregulated grasslands (grassland structure category)
- structure categories and other regional ecosystem information for use under the vegetation management framework.
How to use the lookup tool
You can search by:
- regional ecosystem number, if you know it
- regional ecosystem details and description.
Or you can download a spreadsheet of all the data and search within it.

| Fire guidelines | SEASON: April-May or in some years through until Sep. INTENSITY: Low to occasional moderate. INTERVAL: 6-10 years. INTERVAL_MIN: 6. INTERVAL_MAX: 10. STRATEGY: Mosaic burn 25-70% of the target area. Across the landscape burn different areas at different intervals to add diversity. a,b: Do not burn deliberately. Limit fire encroachment from adjacent ecosystems by burning when conditions are favourable. Burn away from edges. ISSUES: Occasional moderate fire can assist management of overabundant tree recruitment. Too frequent fire can eliminate shrubs which require several years before they set seed. a,b: Most plant species in this ecosystem are fire sensitive. Inappropriate fire may affect sensitive trees (e.g., coastal she-oaks), remove habitat trees, remove structurally complex understorey or promote weed invasion and erosion. |
