Robinvale Plains bioregionEVC 86: Woorinen Sands Mallee

Description:Mallee shrubland to 7 m tall, typically supporting a hummock grass (Triodia spp.) dominated understorey. This EVC could beconsidered intermediate between the heavier soil mallee woodlands and the lighter sandy soil mallee vegetation predominanton Lowan (siliceous) sand.

Robinvale Plains bioregionEVC 816: Sedgy Riverine Forest

Description:Eucalypt forest to 25 m tall with understorey dominated by larger sedges. Understorey composition indicative of at leastoccasional shallow flooding and a tolerance of gaps between floods of several years. Typically on heavy soils which canbecome wet in winter. Sedgy Riverine Forest has some floristic affinities to Red Gum Swamp. It is considered to occupy areasinfrequently flooded and in which flood duration may be short, for example, higher ground surrounding the box ridges oroccurring along the river levee in a position remote from the channels from which the forest first floods. These areas aretherefore the last to flood and the first from which floods quickly recede. Soils are typically heavy clays. The majorunderstorey species Carex tereticaulis is intolerant of total immersion (at least in turbid water).

Typically treeless, butsometimes with thickets of saplings or scattered more mature specimens of Eucalyptus camaldulensis. Mostly confined to anarrow ring around the upper margins of floodway ponds. Soils are typically heavy clays (e.g. mottled yellow-grey clay, greyloamy clay), occasionally silty near the surface. In some riverine sites, annual inundation is not reliable and the rhizomicrootstocks of Eleocharis acuta appear capable of surviving at least occasional periods of longer dormancy.

Robinvale Plains bioregionEVC 823: Lignum Swampy Woodland

Description:Understorey dominated by Lignum, typically of robust character and relatively dense (at least in patches), in association with alow Eucalypt and/or Acacia woodland to 15 m tall. The ground layer includes a component of obligate wetland flora that is ableto persist even if dormant over dry periods.
