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.

| Description | Casuarina cunninghamiana (river oak) woodland to open forest on alluvium fringing streams. Occurs on channel benches, levees and terraces on deep loamy sands or sandy clay loams (often with loose surface gravel). Riverine. (BVG1M: 16a). Vegetation communities in this regional ecosystem include: 7.3.26a: Casuarina cunninghamiana, Eucalyptus tereticornis, Lophostemon suaveolens, Melaleuca leucadendra, M. fluviatilis, Buckinghamia celsissima, Mallotus philippensis woodland and forest with an understorey of Melaleuca viminalis and Bursaria tenuifolia. Fringing forests of larger streams. Riverine. (BVG1M: 16a). 7.3.26b: Casuarina cunninghamiana woodland and forest. Fringing forests of larger streams. Riverine. (BVG1M: 16a). |
| Fire guidelines | INTERVAL: Fire return interval not relevant. INTERVAL_MIN: 100. INTERVAL_MAX: 100. STRATEGY: Do not burn deliberately. Perimeter burning early in the fire season may limit the extent and intensity of wildfire incursions. Burning may be useful for weed management. ISSUES: Coastal she-oaks and river oaks are sensitive to fire. Fire in the litter layer of these oaks will be of low intensity and patchy. Storm burning may be useful to minimise scorch intensity to fire sensitive Casuarina. No active fire management required, except as part of weed control. Fire could be useful in controlling Singapore daisy, Sphagneticola trilobata, Lantana camara and high biomass grasses. |
