Vegetation description: Mosaic of: Rock pavement; Mid-high woodland with mid-tall to tall shrub layer; and Open shrubland to shrubland. Trees layer: Eucalyptus tindaliae, Corymbia trachyphloia, E. crebra and E. carnea Shrub and ground layer: Common species: Acacia hubbardiana, Lophostemon confertus, Calytrix tetragona, Leptospermum microcarpum, Acrotriche aggregata, Schoenus vaginatus, Themeda triandra and Xanthorrhoea latifolia Other species present: Acacia juncifolia, Alphitonia excelsa, Aristida queenslandica var. dissimilis, Boronia polygalifolia, Cheilanthes sieberi subsp. sieberi, Chorizema parvifolium, Crotalaria montana, Goodenia bellidifolia, Hibbertia stricta, Keraudrenia hillii var. hillii, Lepidosperma laterale, Leptospermum luehmannii, Lophostemon confertus, Melinis minutiflora*, Mirbelia pungens, Panicum effusum, Plectranthus suaveolens, Pultenaea myrtoides, Tricoryne elatior, Vernonia cinerea and Westringia eremicola. Area of occupancy: area of approximately 9 ha (150 m from the summit down the western and north-eastern slopes and 250 m along north north west ridge) Population: 657 individuals (counted) Site: 4 Location: Wildhorse Mountain, State Forest Park No. 24, 5 km north east of Beerburrum, SF 611, Fty 1387. Easting: 499517 Northing: 7021431 Latitude: 26°55’44” Longitude: 152°59’42” Land tenure: State Forest Controlling Body: Department of Primary Industries, Forestry Date surveyed: 15-Dec-97 Map reference: Nambour 9444 Landform pattern: low hills Landform element: hillslope & hillcrest Morphological type: simple slope & crest Aspect: 100°-240°, E to WSW Slope: 8°-20° Slope class: moderately inclined to steep Altitude: 40-120 m Soil: Woodland site Texture: Silty clay loam Colour: Greyish yellow brown, 10YR 5/2 pH: 5.7 Comments: shallow stony soil Geology map unit: Ti: Tertiary, trachyte, comendite, trachyrhyolite, mangerite, syenite Geology map reference: Gympie 1: 250, 000 SG56-10 Fire management and history: The present approach is to have fuel reduction burns approximately every 3-5 years (depending on fuel loads). Fuel accumulation on the mountain is slow because of the sparse tree cover (R. Jack, Forest Ranger, pers. comm.). Hazard Reduction burns are cool burns and are undertaken during the winter months. Fire management on Wildhorse Mountain is aimed at protecting the surrounding pine plantations from wildfires that may start in the native vegetation on the mountain. Forestry records go back as far as 1972. Fires have occurred on the mountain in 1994, 1990, 1987, 1984, 1983, 1981 and 1972/73. Although the area is due for a reduction burn it will probably not be burnt for another 3 or 4 years. Vegetation description: Mosaic of: Rock pavement; Mid-high woodland with sparse shrub layer and grassy ground layer; and open shrubland to shrubland. Trees layer: Eucalyptus crebra, E. tindaliae and Corymbia trachyphloia Shrub and ground layer: Common species: Acacia hubbardiana, Leptospermum microcarpum, Themeda triandra, Acrotriche aggregata, Calytrix tetragona, Hibbertia stricta and Triplarina volcanica subsp. volcanica. Other species present: Lophostemon confertus, Dodonaea rupicola, Acacia leiocalyx, Acacia falcata, Allocasuarina littoralis, Jacksonia scoparia, Acacia juncifolia, Alloteropsis semialata, Aristida benthamii var. benthamii, Baccharis halimifolia*, Bidens pilosa*, Cheilanthes sieberi subsp. sieberi, Chorizema parviflorum, Cymbopogon refractus, Dianella revoluta var. revoluta, Entolasia stricta, Eragrostis brownii, Fimbristylis dichotoma, Gompholobium pinnatum, Goodenia bellidifolia, Goodenia rotundifolia, Grevillea leiophylla, Imperata cylindrica, Lantana camara*, Lepidosperma laterale, Lophostemon confertus, Melinis minutiflora*, Melinis repens*, Phyllanthus fuernrohrii, Pimelea linifolia, Pinus sp.*, Pultenaea myrtoides, Pultenaea villosa, Richardia brasiliensis*, Schoenus vaginatus, Stachytarpheta australis, Stackhousia viminea, Thysanotus tuberosus, Tricoryne elatior, Vernonia cinerea and Xanthorrhoea latifolia. Area of occupancy: approximately 15 ha (500 m from near telecommunication tower to near lookout and 150 m on either side of track) Population: 549 individuals (counted) Notes: A large portion of the plants occur along edge of the track leading up to lookout. |
