EVC/Bioregion Benchmark for Vegetation Quality Assessment

Murray Fans bioregionEVC 56: Floodplain Riparian Woodland

Description:An open eucalypt woodland or open forest to 20 m tall over a medium to tall shrub layer with a ground layer consisting of amphibious and aquatic herbs and sedges. Occurs along the banks and floodplains of the larger meandering rivers and major creeks, often in conjunction with one or more floodplain wetland communities. Elevation and rainfall are relatively low and soils are fertile alluviums subject to periodic flooding and inundation.

Murray Fans bioregionEVC 107: Lake Bed Herbland

Description:Herbland or shrubland to 0.5 m tall dominated by species adapted to drying mud within lake beds. Some evade periods of prolonged inundation as seed, others as dormant tuber-like rootstocks. Occupies drying deep-cracking mud of lakes on floodplains. Floods are intermittent but water may be retained for several seasons leading to active growth at the ‘drying mud stage’.

Description:This EVC is usually treeless, but in some instances can include sparse Black Box Eucalyptus largiflorens or River Red Gum Eucalyptus camaldulensis. A sparse shrub component may also be present. The characteristic ground cover is dominated by grasses and small sedges and herbs. The vegetation is typically species-rich on the outer verges but is usually species-poor in the wetter central areas.

Murray Fans bioregionEVC 292: Red Gum Swamp

Description:Open woodland to 15 m tall with a diverse understorey dominated by sedgy or grassy-herbaceous aquatics and species tolerant of intermittent to seasonal inundation. Occurs on alluvial plains in the seasonally wet depressions of shallow drainage lines or prior stream meanders, typically associated with heavy paludal soils, sometimes with gilgai development. The annual rainfall across its distribution is generally below 700 mm, and the period of inundation may range from 2 to 6 months.

Murray Fans bioregionEVC 803: Plains Woodland

Description:Grassy or sedgy woodland to 15 m tall (typically dominated by Eucalyptus largiflorens in the north-western part of its range) with large inter-tussock spaces potentially supporting a range of annual or geophytic herbs adapted to low summer rainfall, with low overall biomass. Mostly occurs on terrain of low relief in areas receiving <600 mm rainfall per annum. Fertile, sometimes seasonally waterlogged, mostly silty, loamy or clay topsoils, with heavy subsoils, derived largely from recent (ie Quaternary) fluvial or alluvial deposits.

Murray Fans bioregionEVC 809: Floodplain Grassy Wetland

Description:Wetland dominated by floating aquatic grasses (which persist to some extent as turf during drier periods), occurring in the most flood-prone riverine areas. Typically treeless, but sometimes with thickets of saplings or scattered more mature specimens of Eucalyptus camaldulensis. Occupies temporary shallow lakes in the most flood-prone riverine areas, also occurs as a narrow intermediate band around some floodway ponds.

Description:Eucalypt woodland to 15 m tall with a variously shrubby and rhizomatous sedgy - turf grass understorey, at best development dominated by flood stimulated species in association with flora tolerant of inundation. Flooding is unreliable but extensive when it happens. Occupies low elevation areas on river terraces (mostly at the rear of point-bar deposits or adjacent to major floodways) and lacustrine verges (where sometimes localised to narrow transitional bands). Soils often have a shallow sand layer over heavy and frequently slightly brackish soils.

Murray Fans bioregionEVC 816: Sedgy Riverine Forest

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

Description:Eucalypt woodland to open forest to 15 m tall of less flood-prone (riverine) watercourse fringes, principally on levees and higher sections of point-bar deposits. The understorey includes a range of species shared with drier floodplain habitats with a sparse shrub component, ground-layer patchily dominated by various life-forms. A range of large dicot herbs (mostly herbaceous perennial, several with a growth-form approaching that of small shrub) are often conspicuous.

Murray Fans bioregionEVC 819: Spike-sedge Wetland

Description:Low sedgy vegetation of species-poor seasonal or intermittent wetlands, dominated by spike-sedges. Typically treeless, but sometimes with thickets of saplings or scattered more mature specimens of Eucalyptus camaldulensis. Mostly confined to a narrow ring around the upper margins of floodway ponds. Soils are typically heavy clays (e.g. mottled yellow-grey clay, grey loamy clay), occasionally silty near the surface. In some riverine sites, annual inundation is not reliable and the rhizomic rootstocks of Eleocharis acuta appear capable of surviving at least occasional periods of longer dormancy.
