Threatened ecological communities Weeping Myall Woodlands E -
Highly unlikely to occur Key diagnostic canopy species, Acacia pendula, was not field verified within the survey area.
The Weeping Myall Woodlands ecological community occurs on the inland alluvial plains west of the Great Dividing Range in NSW and Queensland (DEWHA, 2008c). The Weeping Myall Woodlands occur in a range from open woodlands to woodlands, generally 4-12 m high, in which Weeping Myall (Acacia pendula) trees are the sole or dominant overstorey species. Other common names for Weeping Myall include Myall, Boree, Balaar, Nilyah, Bastard Gidgee, and Silver Leaf Boree (DEWHA, 2008c) The Coolibah – Black Box Woodlands ecological community is associated with the floodplains and drainage areas of the Darling Riverine Plains and the Brigalow Belt South IBRA bioregions. This ecological community represents occurrences of one type of eucalypt woodland where Eucalyptus coolabah subsp. coolabah (Coolibah, Coolabah) and/or Eucalyptus largiflorens (Black Box) are the dominant canopy species and where the understorey tends to be grassy. The ‘Poplar box grassy woodland’ TEC varies from a grassy woodland to grassy open woodland structure. This TEC typically exhibits as an open forest structure with an overstorey dominated by Eucalyptus populnea (poplar box) and an understorey predominantly composed of perennial forbs and grasses (DEE 2019). The TEC expands over seven bioregions including: Brigalow Belt North, Brigalow Belt South, Southeast Queensland, Cobar Peneplain, Darling Riverine Plains, NSW South Western Slopes and Riverina. Bertya pedicellata is confined to central and south-east Queensland, from near Aramac eastwards to Rockhampton and south to
