EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This report describes the distribution and composition of the native vegetation of the Warragamba Special Area. The purpose of the project has been to provide detailed information that addresses the type, extent, condition and conservation status of native vegetation communities. The provision of this information meets a core objective of the Special Areas Strategic Plan of Management (SASPoM) that relates to information shortfalls in biodiversity information. The information and associated data layers can now be directly integrated into the Sydney Catchment Authority (SCA) Environmental reporting indicators set out in Objectives 5 and 8 of the SCA Environmental Plan (2000-2005) and can be used for fire management planning and conservation assessments.

A comprehensive field survey was carried out across all tenures within the Warragamba Special Area. Over 630 sites that record all vascular plants and vegetation, soil and disturbance information have been accurately recorded and entered into an electronic database. This data was used with existing data available in the Special Area to classify vegetation communities using numerical analytical techniques. Some 78 vegetation communities have been identified, with detailed profiles provided in the report that describe the composition and structure of the vegetation, example locations, conservation status and summarise disturbance within the community. Sample photographs are also provided.

Detailed Aerial Photograph Interpretation (API) using 1:25000 photography (1994) has been completed across the Special Area. This program has collected data on geology, canopy species, disturbance features, understorey characteristics and interpretation reliability. It accurately delineates the extent of vegetation cover within the Special Area. This data underpins the mapping of the vegetation communities.

The Warragamba Special Area is one of outstanding botanical diversity. Over 1400 native species were recorded from 984 sites, an extraordinary figure given its area of 260000 hectares. It supports perhaps the highest diversity of Eucalypt species in the world for an area of this size with 75 species recorded within the Special Area. This represents 75 percent of all Eucalypt species included within Blue Mountains World Heritage Area. The Bindook Highlands represents a phenomenal example of Eucalypt speciation with 28 species found within 10000 hectares. In addition there are 26 species found within the Special Area that are listed on the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act (1995), of which many new locations were uncovered during this project. A further 35 species are included as Rare or Threatened Australian Plants (RoTAPS). Five Endangered Ecological Communities (EEC) listed under the NSW TSC Act are found within the Special Area and an additional eighteen vegetation communities are considered to have regional conservation significance given their distribution and reservation status.

At least 37 percent of the Special Area displays evidence of moderate to high levels of disturbance. These areas are concentrated within the flat and fertile lands of the Wollondilly, Coxs, Burragorang and Kedumba Valleys as well as the Oakdale Plateau and Werriberri Catchment. Around 190 exotic plant species were recorded with the most prolific species forming infestations in or near areas of greatest disturbance. Prominent species include Serrated Tussock (Nassella trichotoma), Lantana (Lantana camara), Crofton Weed (Ageratina adenophora), Prickly Pear (Opuntia spp.) and Blackberry (Rubus spp.).

A technical report (Part A) has been produced to detail methods and results. Part B of this report presents vegetation community profiles. Digital data layers for use in ARCView GIS are available. These data layers describe the distribution of vegetation communities as well as a large number of landscape features. All site data is now stored in an electronic format for ease of use.

Data can now be widely applied to a multiplicity of uses ranging from environmental reporting, fire management planning, conservation assessments, land acquisition and field operations.

The Native Vegetation of the Warragamba Special Area. Part A: Technical Report 1

1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND

The Sydney Catchment Authority (SCA) was established in 1999 to manage water supply and protect catchments, supply bulk water and regulate activities within the catchment areas to improve water quality, protect public health and the environment. The Authority was created as a result of the Sydney Water Inquiry, headed by Peter McClellan QC. This Inquiry investigated the water quality incidents experienced by Sydney Water between July and September 1998. The main finding of the Inquiry was that the catchments were seriously compromised by many possible sources of contamination and that Sydney Water did not have sufficient regulatory control of the catchments to guarantee safe drinking water.

The Sydney Catchment Authority has produced an Environmental Plan (2000-2005) that draws together “all of its objectives strategies and targets for the next five years.” One of the main initiatives is to “manage its infrastructure, Special Areas and other landholdings for the provision of high quality raw water and for the conservation and enhancement of ecological health and natural and cultural values.” One of the mechanisms that has been used to implement this objective is the Special Areas Strategic Plan of Management (SASPoM). This document has been jointly prepared by SCA and NPWS and outlines principles, goals, actions and strategies to be applied to the Special Areas of Warragamba, Woronora, Metropolitan, O’Hares and the Blue Mountains. The document addresses issues such as ecological integrity, fire prevention and control, cultural heritage, water quality and access.

One of the key responsibilities of the SCA is the management of the biodiversity values across the catchments. The lands managed by the SCA are extensive and as such make an enormous contribution to the protection of biota not only to the Sydney Basin Bioregion but also to national and state conservation priorities as well. The Special Areas Senior Managers (SASM) have sought to cover information shortfalls in these areas by implementing a comprehensive biodiversity survey and mapping program across the Special Areas. Detailed information that maps and describes the type, extent, condition and conservation status of native vegetation communities on lands managed by the SCA has been one such research objective. Information of this type will assist in implementing several critical indicators that track the performance of the Environment Plan strategies. These include:

Extent and Condition of Native Vegetation on SCA owned and managed lands, and

Flora and fauna species of conservation significance in the water supply catchment area.

This information also delivers a resource that meets Objective 8 of the Environment Plan. This seeks to improve scientific knowledge in the area of catchment protection, water quality and environmental management; and utilise this knowledge to enhance operational and environmental decision-making.

SASM have engaged NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) to carry out detailed vegetation mapping of the Warragamba Special Area.

1.2 APPROACH

This project aims to:

Develop a hierarchical classification system that describes vegetation communities within the Warragamba Special Area using systematic field data and quantitative analytical methods;

Describe the floristic composition of the defined vegetation communities and their environmental characteristics;

Examine relationships between the vegetation communities described in the Special Area to those occurring elsewhere within neighbouring landscapes;

Delineate the extent of native vegetation cover using recent large-scale aerial photography, including a coarse assessment of the intensity and type of disturbance present;

Map the current distribution of the vegetation communities defined in aims 1 and 2;

Classifying and mapping vegetation in NSW has been undertaken using a wide variety of methods and approaches (Benson, 1999; FEWG, 1997). Each method comes with strengths and weaknesses in terms of accuracy, efficiency and rigour (FEWG, 1997). The adoption of systematic field methods provides an explicit and repeatable means to describe recurring patterns in floristic assemblages, hereafter termed Vegetation Communities. These methods afford the application of quantitative classification techniques that provide robust supporting data to vegetation community definition. In addition, comparison and assessment of broader regional vegetation patterns is more easily achieved and is less clouded by subjective judgements.

Mapping of vegetation communities defined by field data is always a process of interpolation. In this project, Aerial Photo Interpretation (API), extensive field traverses and Generalised Additive Modelling have been used to develop an understanding of the patterns in vegetation communities within the Special Area.

1.3 STUDY AREA

1.3.1 Location

The Warragamba Special Area is around 260000 hectares in size and lies about 60 kilometres to the west of the Sydney CBD (Map 1 and Map 8). The Warragamba Special Area is a diverse and relatively natural landscape situated in the Southern Blue Mountains Region. It extends south from Katoomba to Wombeyan Caves, and east from Kanangra Walls across to Oakdale. The Study Area has been segmented into a number of physiographic regions for ease of reference, and these are displayed on Map 2.

1.3.2 Environmental Setting

Geomorphology

The Warragamba Special Area is a remote and rugged landscape, which has remained relatively free from human modification. Four major rivers dissect the landscape, cutting through a diverse range of geologies and soil types (Map 3). The eastern, central and northern sections are dominated by the more recent geologies. Permian and Triassic Sandstone and Siltstone dominate these areas (Rose, 1966; Bryan, 1966). The landscapes in these areas have typically formed into tablelands with cliff features above broad, moderately steep escarpment slopes. The cliff lines generally indicate the break in geology with Triassic Sandstones above and the more weatherable Permian sandstone, shale and siltstone below. Amongst the Triassic Sandstones, the Hawkesbury series is by far the most extensive. Sandstones from the Narrabeen Group are restricted to the Kings Tableland and northern arm of Lacys Tableland (King, 1994). Both of these sandstones produce coarse-grained sandy soils that are often shallow and very infertile. Sandstones from the Mittagong Formation outcrop on the Oakdale Plateau near the interface with the Cumberland Plain. The soil derived from this sandstone formation is enriched by intergrading shale bands. Broad flat ridges characterise these landscapes (Bannerman and Hazelton, 1990; Hazelton and Tille, 1990).

Fine-grained sedimentary soils derived from Wianamatta Shale are also found on the Oakdale Plateau. While more extensive across the Cumberland Plain to the east, these soils are relatively restricted to this area and the Mt. Wanganderry area on the Southern Highlands. Smaller residual shale caps possibly from the Hawkesbury series also occur above and within the sandstone bedrock near Warragamba.

Depositional events during the Permian period produced sedimentary rocks of various grain sizes. These are exposed by erosion by the large river systems of the Nattai and Little Rivers, and the Burragorang, Kedumba, Butchers and Tonalli Valleys. Sandstones formed during this period are exposed on steeper slopes, providing only a shallow infertile siliceous soil, not dissimilar from those found on Triassic Sandstones. Siltstones and Shales associated with the broad Shoalhaven Group are more often found on footslopes and escarpment benches. These form a fertile clay loam and support greater water holding capacity than siliceous soils. Residual sediments from the Illawarra Coal Measures occur on the Bindook Highlands and are exposed in Deep Creek Gorge in Joadja Nature Reserve. Elsewhere the coal measures lie beneath Triassic Sandstones and are only exposed as narrow bands along the deep escarpment slopes of the Burragorang and Nattai Valleys. Other residual shale caps occur as isolated patches along Scotts Main Range. Residual Permian sandstones and conglomerates are also exposed along this range.


Soils derived from Volcanic Rocks are of different ages. The most recently formed rocks are associated with smaller Tertiary Basalt outcropping at Mt. Wanganderry and Mt. Shivering, Mt. Werong and a volcanic plug at Yerranderie Peak. Older volcanic geologies are more extensive and are comprised of porphyritic material of various grain sizes across the Bindook Highlands and Wollondilly Valleys. Laid down during the Devonian period, these heavily weathered rocks form a rocky clay soil of moderate depth and fertility. Smaller isolated patches of Devonian and Carboniferous granite are found in the Wollondilly Valley and in the far north western corner of the Study Area near Jenolan Caves, Coxs River and the Megalong Valley (Craft 1928a; 1928b). Small areas of granite are also present near Policemans Point near the Cox’s River (R. Lembit, pers comm.).

In the western and south-western areas, geologically older rocks form the main strata. Devonian, Ordovician and Silurian aged substrates form similar shallow infertile soils (DLWC, 2002) where underlying rock is often exposed. Quartzites, siltstones, claystones and shales are dominant with material derived from Carboniferous, Silurian and Ordovician sediments occupying relatively restricted landscapes (Rose, 1966; Bryan, 1966). These older sediments have generally formed more incised, narrower valleys without dominant cliff lines. The Kowmung and Coxs Valleys are examples of these metasediments.

Limestone rocks outcrop beneath bands of Silurian slate. Wombeyan, Church Creek and Colong Caves are examples of exposed limestone strata.

Alluvial soils are associated with the major river flats along the Wollondilly, Burragorang, Kedumba, Nattai and Little Rivers. The alluvial material occurring along these faults comprises a variety of siltstones, shales and sandstones, with the former the dominant parent material. The soil is often deep although fertility is tempered by the high sand content of the soil. Alluviums derived from porphyritic or shale materials, such as those in the Wollondilly Valley or Monkey Creek near Picton, comprise a far higher proportion of clay-silt and as a result are more fertile.

Other alluviums are associated with Peat Bogs found on the Bindook Highlands or with Hanging Swamps associated with sandstone. The latter formations are found on Lacys and Kings Tablelands and comprise a combination of coarse sand and organic material that produces a poorly drained substrate. These are periodically inundated with water, forming swamps at the heads of minor gullies, cliff edges and sandstone benches. Peat Bogs are found at higher elevations in shallow depressions on more fertile clay substrates. High levels of organic material mix with less pervious parent material.

Elevation

Elevation generally increases across an east to west gradient within the Special Area (Map 4). The lowest areas occur east of the dam wall where the Warragamba River forms a low-lying stream about 20 metres above sea level. The broad Jooriland, Burragorang and Kedumba Valleys lie between 100 and 200 metres with elevation rising upward into the narrow valleys and gorges of the Coxs, Kowmung and Wollondilly Rivers. The sandstone tablelands in the east of the Special Area range from highpoints at Narrow Neck (around 1000 metres) in the north-west to Wild Goat Plateau and the Lacys and Kings Tableland at around 600 metres. The Burragorang Tableland is lower again generally decreasing from 450 metres towards the low point at the dam wall.

A number of high peaks occur on the western ranges that form identifiable landmarks. Mt. Werong, Mt. Cloudmaker, Moorara Boss and Mt. Guouogang are the elevated peaks with the former reaching the highest point in the Sydney Basin Bioregion at 1291 metres. Tallygang Mountain and the Bindook Highlands are representative of moderate to high elevations above 800 metres.

Climate

The landscapes in the south and west not only have the more rugged topography, but are also the highest in elevation and coolest in mean annual temperatures (Bureau of Meteorology, 1979). Snowfall occurs infrequently during cold winter months, although these falls rarely affect elevations less than 1000 metres. Frosts however are common, particularly on the Bindook Highlands, Wombeyan Caves and Tallygang Mountain area. In contrast, the lower altitude areas around Lake Burragorang and the river valleys feeding it typically record the warmest mean annual temperatures.

The distribution of rainfall across the Special Area is a little more complicated being influenced by proximity to the coast, patterns in wind strength and direction, as well as topographic effects including rain shadow areas and change in elevation. Generally speaking, areas of highest rainfall (greater then 1000 millimetres) occur on the higher elevations found on the Kings Tableland, Narrow Neck Peninsula and Mt. Cloudmaker area. The gradual rise in elevation from the Cumberland Plain brings an associated


increase in rainfall. Areas of lower rainfall (less than 850 millimetres) occur in the rain shadow valleys of the Wollondilly, Jooriland and upper Kowmung Rivers. Map 5 displays the variation in rainfall. There are differences in the seasonal rainfall patterns with the summer rainfall greatest in the high country in the west of the Special Area, while the winter months remain drier than the eastern sandstone plateaux.

Fire History

Fire history prior to 1957 is not well documented (Wooten, 1965) although it is suggested that much of the area had been burnt several times over since the time of settlement. Personal communication with long time resident Ms. Badgerry at Mt. Wanganderry indicates that there has been at least one major undocumented fire in the Nattai area in 1939. In addition the burning regime used by the indigenous occupants prior to European settlement is not known.

In November 1957, severe fires burnt the Yerranderie, Twin Peaks, upper Burragorang and most of the Nattai-Little River areas. Extensive fires occurred in the Blue Breaks area in 1964 and smaller fires around Brumby Mountain west of the Kowmung River in 1983-4 (R. Lembit, pers. comm.). Other extensive fires have occurred in 1997 when large areas of Lacys Tableland, Blue Breaks and the Bindook Highlands were effected. The Kedumba Valley was also burnt around this time. In 2001, extensive areas of the Nattai, Burragorang and Kings Tablelands were burnt, as were parts of the Murruin Catchment.

Map 6 illustrates the number of fires that have burnt in the Special Area. Fire frequency remains highest on the eastern sandstone plateaux. Causes of fire in the area range from lightning strikes, escaped fires from recreational camping, uncontrolled grazing burns or hazard reduction fires and arson. However, many of the smaller fires are controlled hazard reduction burns rather than wildfires.

Landuse

The Warragamba Special Area encompasses lands that are rich in both Indigenous and European human occupation. Human use of the Blue Mountains area is thought to extend to at least up to 14000 years before present (NPWS, 1998). Oral and material history highlights that the Gundungurra people formed tightly woven links to the landscape that were altered by gradual climatic changes and the upheaval of the arrival of Europeans. Particular lands within the region are thought to have supported different bands of the Gundungurra language, and had recognised titles such as Gingra, Burragorang and Nattai, now commonly identified landmarks (NPWS, 1998).

Whether through the eyes of the escaping convict or the government sanctioned surveyor, the Blue Mountains represented an insurmountable obstacle to the spread of the new settlement of Sydney. Amongst the earliest European visitor to the region was Frances Barrallier who, in 1802, led an expedition through into the Burragorang Valley following a route not dissimilar to the present day Oberon-Colong-Stock Route and Sheeys Creek Pass (Barrett, 1993). The precipitous gorges of the Kowmung prevented him from reaching the Dividing Range and to the fertile plains of the central tablelands.

These early expeditions were the precursor to the development of agricultural activities within the area now known as the Special Area. At around the same time that Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson crossed the Blue Mountains, government grazing lots were established around The Oaks near the eastern boundary of the present day catchment. By 1822, these areas were offered as land grants to new settlers, marked on the ground by the establishment of a dwelling and ringbarking to clear the land. By 1835 the Burragorang Valley was settled and developing into a thriving agricultural community. By the 1850’s, grazing was found on much of the fertile, flat and undulating country from Kedumba, Wollondilly, Coxs and Wombeyan Caves areas. The more deeply dissected river valleys were used as travelling stock routes over the next 100 years with minor clearings established on some alluvial flats. Shale lenses found on Scotts Main Range and Burragorang Tablelands were cleared to provide yards on travelling stock routes or as minor grazing areas. Up until the 1970s, large pastoral companies consolidated land holdings or crown land leases over extensive areas in the south of the catchment. These covered the richer soils associated with the Porphyry geology found on the Bindook Highlands, and the Wollondilly Valley and slopes. Flooding of the Burragorang Valley in 1960 removed an entire agricultural community, though, such activities continued elsewhere until pastoral lands became more marginal with greater returns achieved through the subdivision of land for small hobby farming. Agricultural activities persist today on private lands found in the Wollondilly Valley and the Oakdale Tableland.


Evidence of logging for selected timbers is found throughout the Special Area. In the east, logging has occurred in many of the more accessible gullies and sheltered slopes. Turpentine (Syncarpia glomulifera subsp. glomulifera), Blackbutt (Eucalyptus pilularis), Blue-leaved Stringybark (E. agglomerata) and Mountain Blue Gum (E. deanei) along with rainforest softwoods, such as Coachwood (Ceratopetalum apetalum) are likely to have been sought after for mills at Picton. Logging of Red Cedar (Toona ciliata) was also common during the 1800’s, with the dry rainforests of the Coxs, Kowmung and Burragorang Valleys supporting this resource. Difficulty in accessing some of these areas has protected someimpressive stands of this species. Brown Barrel (Eucalyptus fastigata) has also been logged in accessible areas of the moist montane forests of the western area of the catchment. The Mt. Werong area was formerly a State Forest set aside for precisely this purpose.

Mining activities have been pursued with vigour at a number of locations throughout the Special Area. Silver was discovered at Yerranderie in 1871 (DMR, 2001). Fourteen mines were established in this area exploiting this resource from 1898 until the resource declined around the time of the great depression. The Illawarra coal measures that underlie the Triassic sandstones have also been targeted for their material. Oil Shale has been extracted from sites near Tonalli Mountain and also at Joadja and Megalong Valleys, both of which lie just outside the catchment boundary. Coal mining infrastructure was established to extract the resource at a number of locations in east Burragorang. These include collieries at Camden, Oakdale, Wollondilly, Wollondilly Extended, and Nattai North and the Valley 1, 2 and 3 Collieries. Small gemstone mining and gold exploration was associated with the area around Mt. Werong. Small deposits of silver and lead have also been extracted from this area. Limestone deposits are also found at isolated sites from Jenolan Caves south to Wombeyan Caves. While these larger sites have always been recognised for their spectacular caves, other sites such as those at Church Creek were targeted for limestone mining. However, strong opposition from conservation groups prevented such development proceeding.

By far the greatest change to the landscape occurred with the flooding of the Burragorang Valley following the construction of the Warragamba Dam in 1960. The dam now supplies 70 percent of Sydney’s fresh drinking water. The flooding drowned around 10000 hectares of land from the Wollondilly River to the junction of the Coxs and Kowmung Rivers. The lands within the inner catchment experienced a gradual change of land management focus, where water quality issues became the primary issue under government agencies such as Sydney Water, the Sydney Catchment Authority and the Metropolitan Water and Sewerage and Drainage Board. This led to the acquisition of private lands and crown leaseholds for catchment management purposes.

The spiritual and recreational values of the land within the catchment have also long been recognised by Europeans. Setting aside lands for this purpose began in the 1860’s with the protection of the spectacular limestone caves at Jenolan and Wombeyan (NPWS, 1998). Several other small parcels of land were set aside for this purpose at the same time. It was not until the 1920 and 30’s that serious proposals for a greater Blue Mountains National Park were drawn up by conservation groups led by Myles Dunphy. Objections to such a reserve were raised by arms of government who had selected the Warragamba Gorge as the site of the preferred water catchment for Sydney’s water supply. In the late 1950’s a Blue Mountains Reserve System was established. New parks and reserves such as Kanangra-Boyd and Nattai National Parks and Burragorang State Conservation Area followed this. Additions, acquisitions and modifications to the reserve boundaries have been ongoing since that time

The outstanding scientific, cultural and aesthetic values of the Blue Mountains Region were recognised by the declaration of the region as a World Heritage Area in 2000. This declaration affects almost 70 percent of the Warragamba Special Area.

Map 7 illustrates the various land tenures and management zones found within the Special Area. It consists of the Schedule 1 (three kilometres around the stored water) and Schedule 2 lands. The Schedule 1 lands are those where public access has been restricted in order to provide protection to the lower catchment of Warragamba Dam and Lake Burragorang. Schedule 2 area includes the lower portions of the Nattai, Wollondilly, Kowmung and Coxs Rivers. The full hydrological catchments of these rivers extend beyond the Special Area boundary.

National Park Estate is comprised of State Conservation Areas (formerly State Recreation Areas), Nature Reserves and National Parks. These comprise 207949 hectares and comprise nearly 80 percent of the Special Area. Wilderness Areas have been declared over some National Parks at Nattai and Kanangra, with the Murruin Area currently under investigation. Management under the Wilderness Act affects over


37 percent of the Blue Mountain Region World Heritage Area has been declared over 66 percent of the Special Area.

Privately owned freehold lands are primarily located within the Wollondilly Valley, the Cumberland Plain, Oakdale Plateau and the Bindook Highlands. These holdings comprise nine percent of the Special Area. A number of smaller crown lands and SCA owned properties also occur in this area.

1.3.3 Regional Context

The Warragamba Special Area extends across both the Sydney Basin Bioregion and the South Eastern Highlands Bioregion (Thackway and Cresswell, 1995). These Bioregions are two of the 85 that have been delineated in the Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation of Australia (IBRA). The purpose of these regions is to establish a framework for conservation planning using broad landscape characteristics to highlight similar influences on flora and fauna. The interactions between climate, geology and broad vegetation are the primary attributes that have been used. One of the applications of the IBRA system has been to review the reservation status of each Bioregion to assist with acquisition priorities for a national reserve system.

Map 8 illustrates the location of the Special Area within these two Bioregions. The Sydney Basin Bioregion encompasses the dissected sandstone plateaux that extend from Ulladulla to the Hunter Valley. Skeletal sandy soils support extensive sclerophyllous woodlands and dry open forests. Shale and other fine-grained sediments are found on undulating plains outside of the sandstone plateaux. The South Eastern Highlands Bioregion extends from the Mudgee area in the north to eastern Victoria. Steep dissected and rugged ranges are characteristic along the Great Dividing Range. Broad plains are also a feature of these tableland environments where remnant dry grassy woodland vegetation is found.

1.4 PROJECT TEAM

This project was completed by the Conservation Assessment and Data Unit, Central Programs and Planning Division, NPWS for the Sydney Catchment Authority (SCA). This project was coordinated by Daniel Connolly (NPWS), Mary Knowles (SCA) and Nathan Kearnes (NPWS). Data analysis and report production was undertaken by Daniel Connolly, Nathan Kearnes, Jedda Lemmon and Bob Wilson. Peter Ewin and Nathan Kearnes undertook geographic information system (GIS) and database management Field survey coordination and project logistics were undertaken by Nathan Kearnes and Tony Kondek (SCA). Field survey was by Stephen Bell, Roger Lembit, Dick Turner, David Thomas, Robert Payne, Nathan Kearnes, Jedda Lemmon, Nicholas Corkish, Daniel Connolly and Joshua Madden. Field survey for the P5MA mapping project was by David Keith, Dan Tindall, Christopher Pennay, Mark Tozer and Lisa Holman. Field survey for the Werriberri Catchment and Burragorang Mines was by David Thomas. Aerial photograph interpretation and data capture was undertaken by Bob Wilson, Ian Roberts (Western Sydney 1999) and PinTech Pty Ltd. NPWS Area staff provided logistical support during field survey.


2 METHODS 2.1 REVIEW OF EXISITING INFORMATION

The Warragamba Special Area includes lands that have long held a special interest to naturalists. As a result there are a number of historical studies that have examined the vegetation or have made mention of it during investigations for other purposes. These studies have increased in response to management requirements that seek to ensure water quality and minimise potential environmental impacts of threatening processes and activities.

Notes on the vegetation were made in Barralliers’ journal during his attempt to cross the Blue Mountains in 1802. Cambage (1906, 1912, 1913) traversed the country between Camden, Burragorang and Mt. Werong and also from Moss Vale to Wombeyan Caves documenting the changes in vegetation occurring in response to elevation and geology. At the time of his investigations, agricultural communities were already well established in the Wollondilly and Burragorang Valleys and clearing of the native vegetation for grazing purposes was extensive. In several publications, Ilma Pidgeon (1937, 1938, 1940, 1941) examined the ecology of the vegetation occurring in the Sydney Basin. The sandstone tablelands of the Burragorang, Kings and Wollondilly were included in her studies, which also assessed the habitat characteristics of Eucalypt species growing on infertile, quartz rich sandy soils.

During the late 1950’s and early 1960’s the Warragamba Special Area was surveyed to explore the potential for commercial logging operations (Wootten, 1965). Volumes and timber stand condition was estimated across the region using a combination of field survey and aerial photograph interpretation.

Since then, regional scale vegetation maps covering the Special Area have been completed at 1:100000 scale by the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney (see Keith and Benson, 1988, Benson, 1992, Fisher et al., 1995) and cover Katoomba, Burragorang and Penrith. Two additional maps have been prepared to draft stage, and these include Wollongong (Benson and Howell, 1994) and Oberon-Taralga (Fisher and Ryan, 1994). More detailed vegetation studies have been carried out in local areas, all of which are piecemeal in both approach and method. Mt. King Ecological Surveys (Lembit, 1989) described the vegetation communities surrounding the foreshores of Lake Burragorang. Smith and Smith (1996) investigated the conservation values of private lands located within the Kedumba Valley. NPWS (1985-1995) carried out limited sampling of vegetation types in areas within the Blue Mountains and Kanangra-Boyd National Parks for fire management purposes. Two University Honours students have completed vegetation studies in remote areas of the Catchment. Duncan (1974) examined heath complexes on the Ti Willa and Kanangra Plateaux, while Steenbeeke (1990) studied the vegetation of the middle Kowmung River Valley. Downing et al. (1995) examined bryophyte assemblages found on the limestone at Wombeyan Caves.

Detailed aerial photo interpretation (API) of vegetation features has been completed at a scale of 1:16000 for the Cumberland Plain in Western Sydney by NPWS (2000b). This mapping project covered the Oakdale Plateau and adjoining sandstone environments on the eastern boundary of the Special Area. A derived vegetation community map was completed for the Cumberland Plain using a combination of field samples, environmental data layers (including soil landscapes at a scale of 1:100000) and API data. In the same year (NPWS, 2000a) completed a large-scale map of Forest Ecosystems for the Southern Region CRA/RFA process. The Kanangra area formed the north eastern boundary of a Study Area and extended south to the Victorian border. Detailed mapping has also been completed for areas covered by private lands within the Blue Mountains Local Government Area (E.S.P., 2001).

2.2 EXISTING SITE DATA

Existing information has been carefully reviewed in order to collate datasets that have been collected using a comparable field survey method. There are a number of studies relevant to the Special Area that have been undertaken within and surrounding the area. These vary in the type and methodology used to capture the information and thus their usefulness to this project. Furthermore, a number of studies where undertaken within a similar timeframe to this study, and all attempts were made to coordinate with these concurrent studies so as to streamline the work being undertaken and maximise the information captured. Table 2.1 provides an overview of the studies of relevance to this project and the number of sites utilised from each.

2.3 SURVEY STRATIFICATION AND SITE SELECTION

The selection of field survey sites was based on combinations of substrate, rainfall, elevation and aspect. These provided a broad classification of potential sampling combinations or what are known as strata. This stratification was based on a combination of ten geological substrates (adapted from Rose (1966) and Bryan (1966)), five aspect classes, three rainfall classes and three elevation classes as set out below in Table 2.2. These classes were overlayed in an ArcView GIS and unique combinations of environmental classes produced. The distribution, extent and configuration of derived strata were reviewed against sampling priorities. Strata supporting areas less than ten hectares were retained only where they represented landscape features of restricted distribution (such as rainforest, basalt caps, heath and riparian vegetation). Other strata small in area reflected artefacts of the GIS overlays. These strata were merged with adjoining strata that shared similar geology, climate and aspect attributes.

The Special Area contained 246 unique strata that were selected for field sampling. The locations of existing survey sites were then overlayed on the derived strata in order to assess field sample priorities. The expected number of new sites was estimated and combined with existing sites in order to provide an expected total number of sites available for analysis. The total number of sample sites allocated to each strata sought to match the proportion of the Special Area covered by each strata with the proportion of the total number of sites expected. For example, a stratum that covered five percent of the Special Area supported a sampling target of five percent of the total expected number of sites. Samples within each stratum were located across the spatial extent of that stratum. Sites were selected to minimise travel and walking times while maximising sampling options for different vegetation types. The more remote areas were surveyed on overnight bushwalks and by utilising helicopters and boats. Areas of heavy disturbance, such as recent fire, clearing or weed infestation, were avoided. Areas of recent fire activity were generally avoided although this was not possible in some environments due to some extensive recent fire events. Broad scale vegetation mapping and aerial photos were used to highlight areas of


cleared land, so that sites were not planned in these areas. Land tenure information was sought from the SCA to determine ownership details. Sites were predominantly selected on NPWS or SCA managed land where possible.

2.4 FIELD SAMPLING

Field survey sought to sample areas that were typical of the surrounding vegetation and were as free of obvious disturbance as possible. Sampling was carried out in teams of two people consisting of a botanist and an assistant. Species that could not be identified in the field were recorded to the nearest possible family or genus and tagged for later identification. Species that could not be identified accurately were sent to the NSW Herbarium for identification.

Standard field sites fixed to 0.04 hectares were adopted. The area was marked out using a 20 by 20 metre quadrat, although in some communities (such as riparian vegetation) a rectangular configuration of the plot was required. Within each survey plot all vascular plant species were recorded and assigned a cover abundance score using a modified seven point Braun-Blanquet scale (Poore, 1955) as follows:

1-Rare, few individuals (three or less) present and cover <5%;

2-Uncommon (more than three but not consistently throughout plot and <5% cover;

3-Common (consistent throughout plot) and <5%;

4a-Very Abundant and Cover <5% OR 4b-Cover >5% and <25%; (4a and 4b were used to facilitate easy conversion to a 1-6 to cover class 4a = Cover Class 2 in 1-6 and 4b = Cover Class 3)

5-Cover >25% and <50%;

6-Cover >50% and <75%;

7-Cover >75%.

Estimates were made of the height range, projected foliage cover and dominant species of each structural stratum recognisable at the site. Measurements of slope, aspect and horizon azimuths were taken. Notes on geology, soil type and depth were also compiled. Estimations of the percentage of rock out-cropping, surface rock, litter and bare soil were made. Evidence of recent fire, erosion, clearing, grazing, weed invasion or soil disturbance was recorded. The location of the site was determined using a global positioning system (GPS) or a topographic map where a reliable reading could not be taken. Elevations were taken off 1:25000 topographic maps. Digital photographs were also taken at each site.

2.5 SITE NOMENCLATURE

For the purpose of managing existing and new field data, each survey plot was given an eight digit alphanumerical survey identification number. A separate survey identification code was also given to all


data to distinguish its source. Using this system enables the reader to understand basic geographical information about the survey site.

For example, site number BRR13P8M:

The first three letters “BRR” refer to the first three consonants of the 1:25000 topographic mapsheet name, in this case the Barrallier Map Sheet.

The fourth and fifth digits “13” refer to the site number by mapsheet, ie. the thirteenth site on this map sheet.

The sixth character “P” refers to the geological substrate evidenced at the site, in this case Permian Sandstone. The geologies found within the Special Area were coded as follows:

N = Narrabeen Sandstone

H = Hawkesbury Sandstone

P = Permian Sediments (mostly sandstone, siltstone and shale)

D = Devonian Sediments (mostly porphyry and quartzite)

O = Ordovician Sediments

S = Silurian Sediments

W = Wianamatta Shale

B = Basalt

A = Alluvium

Q = Quaternary sand

The seventh character “8” refers to the aspect observed at the site (NE in this case) using the following categories:

1 = 67.6 – 112.5 or E

2 = 112.6 – 157.5 or SE

3 = 157.6 – 202.5 or S

4 = 202.6 – 247.5 or SW

5 = 247.6 – 292.5 or W

6 = 292.6 – 337.5 or NW

7 = 337.6 – 22.5 or N

8 = 22.6 – 67.5 or NE

The eighth character “M” is used to describe the morphology. Morphology coding is as follows:

C = Crest

U = Upper Slope

L = Lower Slope

M = Mid Slope

O = Open Depression

D = Closed Depression

S = Simple Slope

F = Flats

R = Ridge


2.6 DATABASE STORAGE

All the data collected during field survey was entered into an ACCESS 97 database. This database was developed by NPWS to facilitate the storage, entry and manipulation of systematic floristic survey data. Database entry windows were similar to those used for field proformas to minimise entry errors. All species recorded are coded using the Census of Australian Vascular Plant Species (CAPS). New species or subspecies, as identified by the Royal Botanic Gardens, not previously listed in the CAPS were assigned new codes to the master CAPS database. An extensive data validation procedure was undertaken to ensure that the data entered into the ACCESS database matched what had been recorded in the field. Accuracy of survey site location was also reviewed against original field sheets.

2.7 TAXONOMIC REVIEW

For this project, all nomenclature was reviewed and standardised across data sets for analysis. Synonyms were updated to reflect currently accepted revisions. Nomenclature was standardised to follow Harden (1990-1993 and revised editions 2000-2002). Recent taxonomic revisions have been identified using the PlantNET Website that has been developed by the Royal Botanic Gardens (2002). The principle outcomes of the taxonomic review follow:

All exotic species were identified and excluded from the analysis dataset;

The review highlighted species that were likely to have been incorrectly identified or incorrectly entered into the database. Original field sheets were reviewed to determine the status of these species and where data entry errors were detected, changes were made to the database. Where data entry errors were not detected, species were reviewed against existing literature. Where this indicated them to be outside their likely range, and no confirmation had been made, the record was deleted from the database;

The review highlighted inconsistently collected records of species containing subspecies or varieties. In such cases, subspecies were either lumped to species level or were assigned to a single subspecies or variant if only one variety is present in the Study Area;

The review identified species hybrids that are not recognised formally in the literature. These were assigned to one or other of the species based on the predominance of either in surrounding environments; and

The review identified species identified to genus level only. Samples identified to Genus level only which were low in number and low in cover scores (<5% cover) were deleted from the analysis dataset. Where Genus only samples were numerous but could not be clearly assigned to a single species were left unchanged

2.8 AERIAL PHOTO INTERPRETATION

2.8.1 Objectives

Extensive Aerial Photo Interpretation (API) was required to generate a complete spatial coverage of the Warragamba Special Area (Map 9) showing the distribution of landcover elements.

The API component of this project has been used to meet several objectives. These are to:

Quantify the extent of native vegetation cover across the Special Area;

Guide and inform the mapping of vegetation communities derived from field data; and

Provide an index of relative vegetation condition for all native vegetation cover.

2.8.2 Area mapped and photography used

Air photo interpretation of the Warragamba Special Area was completed by a single interpreter using 1:25000 scale aerial photos. Table 2.3 shows the aerial photographs used and Map 9 illustrates the extent of each coverage and the routes traversed.

2.8.3 Air Photo Interpretation and Landcover Classification

Air photo interpretation of landcover components as required by this project essentially involved reducing the variability in the landcover continuum according to a set of prescribed but open-ended criteria.


An API stratification of all landcover within the Warragamba Special Area was undertaken by applying the following attribute classes to each polygon.

The Aerial Photos were interpreted to provide information on:

Canopy Type

Non-canopy Features

Crown Cover

Visible Rock

API Confidence

Understorey

Disturbance Severity and Type of Disturbance

Attributes for each of these themes were encoded directly into ArcView GIS for each polygon. Approximately 27000 polygons were mapped with an average patch size of 9.7 hectares.

To ensure consistency in the interpretation of features across the Study Area, interpretation was tied to explicit mapping thresholds within each of the above themes.

The prescribed minimum patch size for mapping was one hectare. However, smaller patch sizes were mapped at the interpreter’s discretion. Small areas considered significant enough to map included rock outcrops, rainforest patches, sedgeland and heathland. The mapping pathway is presented in Figure 2.1.

2.8.4 Canopy Types

A primary requirement of the API was to map homogenous patterns in the species composition of the upper strata of native vegetation across the Warragamba Special Area. The conventional process of delineating such areas by drawing a line of best fit between areas that are typically occupied by a species or group of species has the effect of reducing the variability of the landcover into “canopy types”. Field traverses were used to relate photo patterns with canopy species composition.

A table of canopy types was compiled throughout the course of the project from field observation and reference to other data sources such as plot based floristic survey and previous vegetation mapping (See Table 2.1). All vegetation cover classified as having a crown cover greater than ten percent was allocated a canopy species code based on the dominant combinations of the upper strata species. A species code was not applied to polygons with a canopy of less than ten percent crown cover.

Canopy types were described using a two level hierarchy. The first level in the hierarchy, Level 2, described a broad, consistently occurring pattern in upper strata species within a unique habitat. This unique habitat most often reflected similar geological substrates and topographic positions. The second level in the hierarchy, Level 3, was allocated for distinct patterns of species that could be identified within the broader patterns described in Level 2 and retained the same environmental characteristics.

A complete list of canopy types (feature codes) is provided in Appendix A.

2.8.5 Non-canopy features

Other landcover features mapped include non-vegetated and highly modified landcover such as infrastructures and cleared lands. A list of non-canopy features is provided in Appendix A.

FIGURE 2.1: API MAPPING PATHWAY AND FEATURES

22 The Native Vegetation of the Warragamba Special Area. Part A: Technical Report

2.8.6 Canopy Cover

An eight-scale classification of Crown Separation Ratio was utilised as a relative measure of canopy cover (Figure 2.2).

FIGURE 2.2: CANOPY COVER CLASSES

Adapted from Walker and Hopkins (1984)

Closed, Mid dense to Sparse Vegetation Cover: canopy map codes 1-4

All vegetation cover that displays canopy integrity has been mapped. Canopy integrity has been defined as having a Crown Separation Ratio less than two (equivalent to canopy cover greater than ten percent). All vegetation cover falling within this class and with an area greater than one hectare has been mapped. This covers large expanses of vegetation cover to remnant patches in cleared landscapes. They are attributed with a code describing the canopy species present, visible rock, the nature of the understorey, the severity and main types of disturbance present and an API confidence index.

Sparse Vegetation Cover: canopy map code 5

A regular feature of native vegetation cover in disturbed environments is the presence of scattered trees above an open or absent understorey in a mosaic of cleared and remnant vegetation. Areas having a Crown Separation Ratio between two and five (equivalent to canopy cover between three and ten percent) are considered not to display canopy integrity and as such have not been attributed with a code describing the canopy species present and the nature of the understorey. Attributes indicating visible rock, the severity and main types of disturbance present and an API confidence index have been included.

Sparse to Very Sparse Vegetation Cover: canopy map codes 6-8

This includes obvious features such as man made structures, cleared paddocks, etc. Specific non-vegetative features attributed include landslides rock outcrops and water bodies. Areas having a Crown Separation Ratio greater than five (equivalent to canopy cover less than three percent) are considered not to display canopy integrity and as such have not been attributed with a code describing the canopy species present and the nature of the understorey. Specific non-vegetative features attributed include landslides rock outcrops and water bodies.

Visible Rock

Visible rock (Table 2.4) was interpreted for the purpose of providing information that may be of interest for further scientific survey investigation (herpetological, botanical) as well as for fire management and logistics (fuel and bushfire behaviour mapping, helicopter access points) etc.

Interpretation Confidence

Four classes of interpreter mapping confidence were applied to each mapped polygon (Table 2.5). These classes enable users to understand the reliability of the mapping features.

TABLE 2.5: INTERPRETER CONFIDENCE CLASSES

Mapping Confidence Class Confidence Assessment Criteria

1: Very High Sites visited, features checked

Low confidence in species interpretation

Understorey Classes

Understorey characteristics were interpreted where they were visible and grouped into a number of broad classes, as in Table 2.6. Understorey has been collected for a number of reasons. Firstly, it provides an additional layer of information that can be used to more accurately delineate vegetation community distribution. Secondly, it can be used to clarify habitat values for fauna.

Disturbance Severity Classes

All vegetation cover was assessed for disturbance. An initial code was applied to indicate the severity of disturbance based on a subjective assessment using a number of predefined indicators. This was a three-class system, including Low, Medium and High. The two most dominant types of disturbance where recorded in separate fields. Features less than two hectares in size where mapped as point features. Disturbance severity and type are displayed in Tables 2.7 and 2.8 respectively.

2.9 DIGITAL DATA CAPTURE AND MAP COMPILATION

The linework from the Aerial Photo Interpretation was completed on transparent overlays and delineated on every second photo frame.

The transfer of line work to a GIS format used a scanning and photogrammetric rectification process for each annotated photo. Ground control points were established using topographic maps and a 1:40000 series of digital orthographic photos. These control points were used to rectify (the adjustments used to compensate for distortion due to change in elevation) and geo-reference (reference the spatial location by using the locations of known features) each photograph. Following this process, the raster data was converted to vectors, cleaned, and in turn converted to polygons and edge matched with polygons from the Western Sydney Mapping.

A digital data layer supporting topology was cleaned and built in the ArcInfo GIS package. Polygons have been labelled with the attributes identified during interpretation process as per feature code table (Appendix A) and Tables described above.

2.10 VEGETATION CLASSIFICATION

Vegetation communities were classified using quantitative data analysis of field data. This analysis involved a number of stages. Firstly, analysis of all raw species abundance data from all available full floristic site data was undertaken using the PATN program (Belbin, 1994). The Bray-Curtis coefficient was generated to identify dissimilarity between survey sites. An association matrix displaying dissimilarity scores between all pairs of sites was produced. An unweighted pair group arithmetic averaging (UPGMA) clustering strategy was applied to the matrix to derive a hierarchical classification. The default beta value of –0.1 was used on all analyses.

A dendrogram was produced to display the hierarchical relationships between individual sites and groups of sites. Homogeneity analysis (Bedward et al., 1992) was used as an initial guide as to the optimum number of vegetation groups. Perfect homogeneity of floristic assemblages within groups would only occur where each site in the data set is considered as an individual group. No two sites in vegetation sampling are ever identical given the natural continuums of vegetation patterns in the landscape. The question facing the analyst is to what degree are differences worthy of justifying unique groups of sites. These decisions are based on a number of approaches that are compared to field observations and experience.

An initial broad grouping of sites provided the start point for further investigation. Groups of sites were examined using the species that characterise the group, structural features such as height and Eucalypt cover along with physical characteristics such as geology, topographic position and aspect. Each broad group was split to uncover finer scale floristic assemblages in a sequential manner. This process was continued until further splits in site groupings did not resolve clearer or more consistent patterns of floristic assemblages.

With groups of sites identified to reflect preliminary vegetation communities, data was reanalysed using a different measure of dissimilarity (Kulczynski) to examine the consistency of site groups.

The Special Area supports a large number of sites that have assessed the cover abundance of plant species using a number of different cover abundance scores. In order to standardise cover scores all data was transformed to a presence absence data set and reanalysed using the methods described above. Identical dissimilarity coefficient techniques were performed on the data to test the robustness of groups identified using raw abundance scores. The performance of new sites added to the data set was reviewed by examining the their position within the derived dendrogram. Additional sites that clustered amongst sites used to define groups in the raw abundance score analyses were allocated to that group. Sites that were separated from clusters of sites defined in the raw abundance score analyses were reviewed in order to identify the species composition and habitat sampled. Where these sites signified an assemblage not previously described, a new group was identified.

A large set of data collected by Steenbeeke (1990) were excluded from the final analyses. Sites from this study revealed considerably lower species numbers per site than those collected by this study in proximate areas. Review of floristic assemblages derived from this data appeared to match similar environmental characteristics and species combinations identified from data collated for this report. However, the Steenbeeke data achieved poor floristic relationships (as measured by the dissimilarity scores between sites) with other data. Further, the spatial accuracy of site locations was considered to be very low given the method used to locate ground position and as a result no precise review of sampling performance could be completed. For these reasons this data was excluded from further analyses.

2.11 DESCRIPTION OF VEGETATION COMMUNITIES

Vegetation communities have been described in detail using a number of features. Firstly, combinations of sites defining unique groups in the cluster analysis were used to identify characteristic flora species. These are presented as a summary for each community in Part B of this report. Each vegetation community has been given a Map Unit name to describe the structure, dominant or characteristic species (generally tree species), broad understorey descriptor and/or a geological or topological feature.

Each profile supports a brief summary of key identifying features. These include commonly occurring plant species and habitat characteristics. Example locations are also given, as is a sample photograph from a site used to describe the community in the cluster analysis. The degree of disturbance found within the mapped vegetation community is also presented along with figures highlighting the total extant area within the Special Area. Data describing the vegetation structure (height and vegetation cover) has been generated from field sample points.


Each profile includes a list of diagnostic species. This species list is also derived from the field site data and can be used to help define the floristic composition of a community in relation to all others present in the Special Area. A concept known as ‘fidelity’ developed by Keith and Bedward (1999) based on Westhoff and van der Maarel (1978) provides a systematic method for identifying ‘diagnostic’ or ‘characteristic’ species within an assemblage. This approach recognises that within a given vegetation community a species may be conspicuous by the frequency and abundance which it is recorded. However, in other communities the same species may only occur sparsely, at low abundance or not at all. Patterns may be revealed by analysing the performance of each individual species found within each community. Table 2.9 describes the criteria used to define positive, negative, uninformative and constant species. Positive species are recorded more frequently within a community and/or at a higher median cover abundance than in all other vegetation communities. Positive species also include those that are only recorded within the target community irrespective of their frequency of detection or abundance. A species that is present in all other communities but is less common or abundant or not present at all in the target community is defined as a negative diagnostic species. A constant species is one that occurs consistently within many communities. Uninformative are those that are recorded at lower abundance and less frequently across all communities. The profile lists all species classified as positive, negative and constant. In addition some uninformative species have been included in the species list to aid field identification.

2.12 ENVIRONMENTAL ATTRIBUTES OF VEGETATION COMMUNITIES

The classified plot data provides a useful sample from which to examine environmental factors that underpin the distribution of each vegetation community within the Special Area. Generalised Additive Modelling (GAM’s) were employed to highlight relationships between classified site data used to define each community and a range of available environmental data layers. Table 2.10 lists the range of environmental data layers examined. GAM’s have been widely used for examining species-habitat relationships (NPWS, 1994a, 1994b, 1999, 2000, 2003) although have only been applied more recently in vegetation mapping NPWS (2000a).

The application of the GAM software requires a minimum of ten sample sites from which to derive relationships between sample points and environmental data. Hence only those vegetation communities which met this operational criteria were suitable for modelling.

Sample sites that defined an individual community were given a presence value while sites describing all other vegetation communities were given an absence score. The total pool of data that was used for the modelling process was 680 sample sites with a maximum of 670 sites used as absence data for an individual community at any one time.

A total of 29 vegetation communities were examined using this method. Pre-processing of data generated the raw environmental values associated with each site and each data layer. Purpose built software (Watson, 1996) was used with the S-plus Statistical Package to generate models. The modelling process is described in detail in NPWS (1994a). In simple terms it is a step-wise process that examines each environmental layer to achieve statistically significant reductions (at p<0.05) in deviance achieved by adding each data layer or combinations of data layers to the model. Deviance measures the variation between the actual observations of sample sites (using presence and absence data) and the probability of presence as generated by the model (or fitted function).

The output is a series of plotted graphs for the data layers selected and used in the fitted function or ‘model’. A plot is produced for each of the selected data layers that depicts the gradient of probability of occurrence of the vegetation community against the range of values found with the data layer. The combination of the selected variables and their probabilities form the fitted function. An example is shown in Figure 2.3.

The values derived from the function can be used to map the probability of occurrence of the selected vegetation community for each 25 metre by 25 metre (0.06 hectare) grid cell derived for the Special Area. The Species-predict Extension was used to map the intersection of the selected data layers for each of the vegetation communities using ArcView GIS.

The production of these models was produced to guide the construction of the vegetation map. In addition, such models enable potential users to understand the distribution of vegetation communities across cleared lands.

2.13 MAPPING EXTANT VEGETATION COMMUNITIES

The mapping of vegetation communities involved the use of Aerial Photograph Interpretation, Generalised Additive Modelling interpolations, field sample data and field knowledge.

Feature codes defined during the API phases summarised vegetation patterns that share similar canopy species, soil type and topographic position. These feature codes (see Appendix A) were related to possible vegetation communities derived from the quantitative analysis by comparing positive diagnostic canopy species and habitat characteristics generated from the GAM process. Feature codes were then intersected with field sites used to define each vegetation community. The distribution of the feature code was allocated to a vegetation community (Map Unit) where there was agreement amongst sites that fell wholly within the distribution of the feature code. The location of individual sites was reviewed where they disagreed with the interim allocation of the feature code. If the site fell on or near (+/-40 metres) the edge of a polygon and was more accurately aligned with an adjoining feature code the site was ignored. If this was not the case the polygons describing the distribution of the feature code were split to account for conflicting vegetation communities. These splits were completed using either the spatial interpolations of the vegetation community models (at probabilities greater than 50 percent) or by using individual data layers such as soil type or elevation, where no GAM model was available. The latter decision rules were based on field observation and existing literature.

Feature codes generally describe vegetation patterns at a finer scale to vegetation communities that have been defined from field site data. As a result vegetation communities incorporate multiple feature codes. The allocation of each feature code to a Vegetation Community Map Unit is summarised in Appendix A.

A number of feature codes have not been formally sampled. In most cases these codes represented fine scale variations in canopy species patterns within an individual vegetation community. These feature codes were allocated to the parent vegetation community. Several feature codes revealed vegetation patterns that warranted recognition as unique vegetation communities. They are communities that are


small in area within the Special Area, though are likely to be more extensively distributed in adjoining lands. These are small in number (Map Units 6, 45 and 73) and await thorough investigation.

2.14 REGIONAL SIGNIFICANCE OF VEGETATION COMMUNITIES

A number of conservation based assessments were carried out in order to provide information on the regional significance of the vegetation communities found in the Warragamba Special Area. These assessments include:

The regional distribution of the vegetation communities. Each vegetation community has been reviewed to determine the known extent of the community beyond the Special Area. Areal figures (hectares) have been provided based on currently available knowledge presented in broader regional studies including NPWS (2000a), NPWS (2003), Bell (1998) and ESP (2001). These results are included with each vegetation community profile in Part B.

The reservation status of each community within the formal reserve system. The area of each vegetation community (Hectares) found within the reserve system managed by NPWS has also been calculated based on the above sources.

The proportion of the disturbance classes found within each vegetation community has been calculated for areas within the Warragamba Special Area;

Vegetation communities have been reviewed against Endangered Ecological Community Determinations made under the Threatened Species Conservation Act (1995); and

An analysis of the species richness within each community. Mean values were generated (and associated Standard Deviation) using field site data (400 square metre quadrats) used to classify communities.


3 RESULTS 3.1 SITES

Field sampling was completed over two seasons, during June 2001 and between September 2001 and March 2002. A total of 630 full floristic survey sites were collected during this period. These sites augmented the existing 354 sites that were extracted from previous studies. The total number of sites available for analysis reached 984, equating to a sampling density of one site per 264 hectares.

Map 10 displays the location of all sites within and adjoining the Warragamba Special Area. The review of sampling performance against the derived strata indicates that most of the environmental variation within the Special Area has been addressed (Appendix B). Figures 3.1 to 3.3 provide a comparison between the proportion of sampling effort and the proportion of area (classes) for three key environmental variables of rainfall, elevation and geology.

A number of strata remain poorly sampled, largely due to access constraints, severe wildfire at Christmas 2001 and resource limitations. The main gaps occur on coarse–grained sediments in the north west of the Study Area near the Jenolan River, on Narrabeen sediments near the Warragamba Gorge and the far south on Private Lands adjoining Joadja Nature Reserve.

3.2 FLORISTIC DIVERSITY AND SPECIES RICHNESS

The Warragamba Special Area spans two botanical divisions; the Central Coast and Central Tablelands. Some 1423 indigenous species have been recorded from all field data. This represents an outstanding tally of species for an area of 260000 hectares. The full list of species is presented in Appendix C. A total of 190 introduced taxa were recorded from field data and from field notes. Appendix D lists the species recorded.

Species richness was estimated as the mean number of species found within each vegetation community using standard sites of 400 square metres. Richness scores varied between 13 and 63. The results for each individual community are included with the profiles found in Part B of this report. Eighteen communities have richness scores above 50. These figures are considerably higher than those for communities in the Eden region (Keith and Bedward, 1999) although are more commensurate with other mapping completed in central eastern NSW (NPWS, 2000a, 2000b).

Communities supporting lower richness values generally included swamp, mallee and heath communities. Montane eucalypt dominated communities were generally lower in species richness than those found at lower elevations in the east of the Special Area. Sheltered forests on the escarpment slopes and gorges of the Wingecarribee, Kowmung, Kanangra and Burragorang Valleys supported the highest species richness scores. These communities cover Permian, Devonian and Ordovician sediments.

3.3 VEGETATION CLASSIFICATION

Quantitative analyses of field data were used to identify 79 vegetation communities. Figure 3.4 presents a simplified dendrogram that indicates a potential hierarchical structure of vegetation communities in the Warragamba Special Area.

The dendrogram presents eighteen broad vegetation groups each encompassing several recognisable vegetation communities. The first group describes a single community found on the footslopes of escarpments of the Burragorang Valley. The second group identifies the low scrub found on limestone at Wombeyan Caves. The third group encompasses a number of tall open forests growing in sheltered locations on Devonian aged porphyry and quartzite in the mid to high elevations of the Wollondilly Catchment and Bindook Highlands. These forests are characterised by a high cover of grasses and herbs and a low open shrub layer. Dry grassy Box-Ironbark Woodlands characterise the fourth broad group. This group encompasses a number of woodland communities found in exposed positions on fertile Devonian aged Porphyry and Quartzite material.

The fifth group presents a combination of rainforest and moist forest communities found at high elevations on Basalt, Devonian and Ordovician metasediments. These communities are united by cool temperate influences on the combinations of rainforest species. The sixth group introduces a number of tall forests found in sheltered locations on colluvial Permian soils of the Burragorang and Kedumba escarpments and alluvial woodlands found on the footslopes. An unusual group of sheltered forests found on the Oakdale Plateau is also associated with these communities on the similarities of ground covers. Also closely associated to these communities are the forests found on the broad river flats of the Nattai, Kedumba and Wollondilly Rivers. Again, the abundance of grass covers including Microlaena stipoides var. stipoides, links these communities. The woodlands associated with shale soils the Cumberland Plain in east of the Special Area comprise the eighth group, although these communities have been more comprehensively delineated by NPWS (2000a).

Montane dry shrub forests and woodlands summarise the ninth group. These communities are generally found above 600 metres in elevation and occur on metasediments of the Ordovician and Devonian age. They occupy exposed locations and contain a combination of sclerophyllous shrub species in the understorey. Group ten describes tall forests occupying sheltered locations at high elevations and feature Eucalyptus fastigata and E. radiata subsp. radiata as prominent tree species. At higher elevations, tablelands dry woodlands are found in exposed locations or at sites where frost hollows may develop. Three communities have been described in group eleven although these are not extensive within the Special Area.

Group twelve highlights a number of heath-mallee communities that grow on very exposed locations associated with massive rock plates. The different communities represent different altitudinal gradients and substrates. Wet heaths, swamps and bogs associated with sites of poor drainage are described by group thirteen. Group fourteen describes communities that are found in deeply dissected gorges and gullies associated with the sandstone plateaux. These communities are marked by a strong mesic component within the understorey with the gradation into sandstone warm temperate rainforest found within the last community of this broad group.

Another broad change in vegetation (group fifteen) occurs on the higher elevation soils derived from Mittagong Sandstones of the Southern Highlands area near Joadja Nature Reserve. Soils here comprise a combination of enriched sandstones, fine grained sediments and shales and produces taller woodlands and forests than those found on the siliceous soils of the Hawkesbury sandstone plateaux.

The third last of the broad groups (group sixteen) reveals exposed and dry open forests and woodlands of the sandstone plateaux and residual Permian sandstones and conglomerates. Variation within these sandstone communities reflects changes in aspect and elevation, with some north to south variation found between the Kings Tableland and Nattai Plateau. All communities are characterised by a dense sclerophyllous shrub understorey, infertile soils and exposed locations.

Sheltered Sandstone Plateaux Forests (group seventeen) occupy easterly and southerly aspects on steep slopes of Hawkesbury and Narrabeen Sandstones. These forests are similar in floristic composition, but are most easily distinguished by the presence of Angophora costata on Narrabeen Sandstones north of the Warragamba Gorge and Eucalyptus agglomerata and E. punctata on the Hawkesbury Sandstones of the Nattai Tableland.

The final group (group eighteen) represents exposed vegetation communities that are located on soils other than the Triassic Sandstones. They are shrubby and support a low open forests and woodlands. These communities include exposed ironbark woodlands found on the steep slopes underlying the extensive escarpments of the Burragorang and Kedumba Valleys. Similarly exposed communities on Devonian soils of the Kowmung Valley are also included, as are the dry slopes of the Wollondilly Gorge. Forests found at the interface of shale and sandstone soils in the east of the Special Area are included within this group on the basis of some similar tree and shrub species.

Additional vegetation communities are generally small in area. They have been identified using site data drawn from Steenbeeke (1990) (Kowmung Dry Rainforest (MU4) and Kowmung Acacia Scrub (MU67)), Benson and Howell (1994) (Thirlmere Sand Swamp Woodland (MU74) and Lepironia Freshwater Wetland (MU75)), Smith and Smith (1996) (Rosy Paperbark Heath (MU64)) and Mills (2002) (Highlands Dry Scribbly Gum Woodland (MU54)).

3.4 MODELLING VEGETATION COMMUNITY DISTRIBUTION

Generalised Additive Models (GAMS) were derived for 29 vegetation communities. The performance of each GAM varied between vegetation community. Table 3.1 presents the performance of each variable selected by the model against predicted probability of occurrence.

The GAM process generally selected a combination of variables that reflected both regional scale and local scale influences on the distribution of the vegetation community. Regional scale influences include geology and climatic influences (such as rainfall and temperature) as well as distance from coast, elevation and latitude and longitude variables. Local scale influences include exposure (Solar Radiation), topographic position and distance from streams. Table 3.1 summarises the variables chosen for each community.

The interpolation software spatially presents the predicted probability of occurrence in each grid cell within the Special Area. Map 11 presents the results for modelled distributions for Map Units 52, 51, 53 and 23 that represent the grassy Red Gum-Box Woodlands associated with the Wollondilly Valley. The map indicates the probable original distribution of these communities in what are now heavily cleared environments.

3.5 MAPPING DISTRIBUTION OF VEGETATION COMMUNITIES

A total of 316 API feature codes were intersected with sample sites. Almost 60 percent of mapped feature codes supported sample sites that were considered to be accurately georeferenced. Around three-quarters of these codes contained at least 75 percent agreement amongst field data points located within each code. Agreement as to the allocation of the vegetation community was highest amongst easily distinguished vegetation patterns such as rainforests, heath, swamps and riparian vegetation. Feature codes achieving this level of agreement were allocated to the vegetation community with the highest proportion of sites (where 75 percent agreement was reached). The following were mapped in this manner (Map Units 1, 2, 3, 6, 23, 39, 50, 61, 62, 63, 66, 70, 72 and 77). Strong relationships were found between API feature codes (Appendix A) and many vegetation communities as defined by field data.

Feature codes that recorded less than 75 percent of site agreement to an individual vegetation community were reviewed. A spatial tolerance criteria of +/-40 metres was applied to sites that fell within these codes to examine whether sites better described an adjoining feature code. Spatial error in either the location of the site or the API linework was found to contribute significantly to poor correlations between feature code and vegetation community. Such errors are most pronounced on steep escarpment slopes where spatial distortion on aerial photography is greatest. The use of spatial tolerance criteria greatly improved agreement between feature codes and site data. Where corrections improved agreement between site data and feature code to 75 percent or greater, again the dominant vegetation community was adopted.

Transitional shale communities (Map Units 56 and 57) are particularly difficult to discriminate because of the subtle changes in shale content of the soil that may influence understorey not overstorey composition. As a result the allocation of either the higher or lower sandstone influence was based on mapping completed by NPWS (2000b) although the accuracy of the allocation of each feature code remains inconsistent between the two groups.

A large number of feature codes (40 percent) were not sampled (Appendix A) though these comprised less than ten percent of Study Area. These feature codes generally reflected minor variations in canopy species to the parent Level 2 feature code. Each of the unsampled feature codes was reviewed in relation to the Level 2 Feature Code attribution, adjoining feature code and available GAM modelled interpolation. Where modelled data was available, the feature code was allocated to the model that supported the highest probability of occurrence within the mapped polygons. Where no model existed, the feature code was allocated to a map unit using soils, topographic and climatic characteristics of the distribution of the polygons in combination with dominant canopy species described by the feature code. By way of example, difficulties were experienced in mapping Map Units 8 and 9. These two communities represent wetter and drier grades of sandstone gullies and the distinguishing floristic characteristics were not always detected from photo pattern. As a result the allocation of the vegetation community to the relevant feature codes was less robust.

A total of 79 vegetation communities have been mapped within the Warragamba Special Area. Table 3.2 indicates the total area for each unit within the Special Area. The summarised broad structural groups of vegetation are shown in Map 12. These are amalgamated map units based on tree height and crown separation based on Walker and Hopkins (1994).

3.7 DISTURBANCE ASSESSMENT

3.7.1 Disturbance Severity Classes

Evidence of human related impacts on the landscape of the Warragamba Special Area is widespread. Over 37 percent of the total land area displays evidence of disturbance. This may be an underestimate, as impacts may affect sub canopy vegetation and these impacts are not always visible using remote-sensing techniques.

Map 13 illustrates the distribution of the derived disturbance severity classes. Almost nine percent of the Special Area is cleared land (excluding Lake Burragorang). These lands are primarily private agricultural, urban and pastoral holdings within Werriberri Catchment, Wollondilly Valley and Southern Highlands.

Around nine percent of the native vegetation cover exhibits patterns of high disturbance. These include severe weed infestations, post clearing and mining scrub regeneration, regrowth dominant eucalypt cover and areas of extensive erosion, bare soil and land slips. The most heavily disturbed vegetation fringes the cleared landscapes and generally follows the fertile and gently sloped lands.

An additional 20 percent of the vegetation is considered to display signs of moderate disturbance. These areas cover vegetation that has been grazed or logged in the past where regeneration and weed infestation tends to be patchy rather than extensive. The distribution of the moderately disturbed vegetation class reflects former grazing and pastoral landuse of the Bindook Highlands, Scotts Main Range, Coxs River and Kedumba Valley. Table 3.4 provides a summary of disturbance severity classes.

TABLE 3.4 AREA AND PROPORTION OF DISTURBANCE SEVERITY CLASSES

Code Severity Area (ha) Proportion (%)

1 Lowest Disturbance 164031 62.92

2 Moderate Disturbance 51848 19.89

3 High Disturbance 44830 17.20

Table 3.5 lists the proportions of each vegetation community that have low, medium and high levels of disturbance, as recorded from API. The latter category includes Scattered Trees that describe a very open and often significantly disturbed canopy. These disturbance features may signify that other components of the community may also be heavily disturbed or degraded although this is not always the case. A range of understorey types may be present varying from improved pasture grass to secondary native grassland. It is often apparent that areas of high disturbance continue to support high levels of native species as is demonstrated by the sample sites used to describe Highlands Basalt Acacia Scrub.

The table is sorted in order of most disturbed to least, based on proportion of area in the High Disturbance Class. These landscapes are historically the areas that have been cleared, grazed and modified. There are twelve vegetation communities that have over 50 percent of their distribution within the Special Area in the high disturbance class. By way of contrast, there are far greater numbers of vegetation communities that remain mostly unaffected by human impacts. These are closely associated with infertile soils and rugged, inaccessible landscapes.

3.7.2 Exotic Species

Systematic field survey work recorded over 185 exotic species from a wide variety of locations and environments. A complete list is presented in Appendix D. The locations of these species have been stored in an electronic database.

Locations of weed infestations are associated with areas of past disturbance. In several locations weeds occur at such a density that they have been mapped during the API program. These are associated with previous coal mining sites at locations such as Oakdale and the Nattai River Valleys where Lantana (Lantana camara) is clearly visible. Other areas include the Coxs River where banks support a diversity of weed species in the area west of the confluence of the Kowmung River. The most prominent of these are Wandering Jew (Tradescantia fluminensis) and Blackberry (Rubus spp.). Weed diversity and abundance has increased significantly over the past 25 years (R. Lembit, pers. comm.).

Serrated Tussock (Nassella trichotoma) infests extensive areas of former grazing lands in the Wollondilly Valley. These areas are largely in private landholdings although some areas resumed by the SCA in the past suffer from chronic infestation. This weed however was not easy to detect using aerial photographs used for this project. As a result areas of infestation have not been mapped. Similar problems occur with other low growing species. Prickly Pear (Opuntia stricta var. stricta) can occur on former grazing lands in the Scotts Main Range, and Kowmung and Coxs River Catchments in variable densities. For both of these species, occurrence is strongly correlated with disturbance. Crofton weed (Ageratina adenophora) is also common around many of the old mining sites on the Nattai Walls, within the Werriberri Catchment and around the Jooriland and Bindook Highlands.

Other prominent weed infestations occur on the Green Wattle Arm and the Kedumba Valley.


4 DISCUSSION 4.1 PATTERNS IN VEGETATION COMMUNITIES

Previous studies have indicated that patterns in the composition and distribution of the vegetation communities of the Special Area are influenced by complex interactions between geology, soil types, topography, elevation and rainfall (Cambage. 1906, 1912; 1913; Keith and Benson, 1988; Fisher et al., 1995; Benson and Howell, 1994; Benson, 1992). Collection of systematic field data and quantitative analyses has confirmed the influence of these environmental factors. The following provides an overview of how the changes in environmental characteristics result in corresponding variation in vegetation composition. The structure as set out below follows the broad groups of communities described by the data analyses and presented in the dendrogram (Figure 3.4).

4.1.1 Rainforests on Metasediments and Basalt

Soils derived from metamorphosed sediments of the Devonian and Silurian era and are less siliceous than those found associated with the Sandstone Plateaux, resulting in greater composition of silts and clays along lower slopes and gullies. Montane Cool-Warm Temperate Rainforest (MU2) grows in sheltered situations above 700 metres where rainfall levels maintain an average of around 1000 millimetres per year, and features a similar structure (heights to about 20 metres), and similar canopy species to those found in Sandstone Gorge Warm Temperate Rainforest (MU1). Doryphora sassafras and Ceratopetalum apetalum are both common, with the former more abundant, but Acmena smithii is less frequently recorded. Whilst the canopy may appear similar to the sandstone gully rainforests, the understorey comprises a different suite of species. Species such as Dicksonia antarctica, Hedycarya angustifolia, Acacia melanoxylon, Coprosma quadrifida, Rapanea howittiana and Microlaena stipoides become prevalent and typical species found in Sandstone Gorge Warm Temperate Rainforest such as Callicoma serratifolia and Acacia elata do not occur. Emergent Eucalypts also reflect an altitudinal gradation with Eucalyptus fastigata, E. cypellocarpa, E. smithii, E. oreades and E. bicostata allied to the Montane Rainforests.

Grey Myrtle Dry Rainforest (MU3) is the most widespread rainforest community in the Special Area. It can be seen along all of the major tributaries including the Nattai, Wollondilly, Coxs and Kowmung Rivers. It tolerates steep rocky slopes often alongside watercourses, and sheltered dry gullies. It is the most resilient of the rainforest communities, as it tolerates much lower rainfall levels. Most sites were located in areas of lower rainfall, generally around 850 millimetres per year at elevations less than 600 metres, where temperatures are still moderately warm all year round. However, the structure and composition of the community was found to be variable depending on substrate. Most often it forms a dense thicket of Backhousia myrtifolia, sometimes in combination with species such as Ficus rubiginosa, Rapanea howittiana or Alectryon subcinereus. Some forms found on the more siliceous Permian sediments have a comparably depauperate understorey and lack some of the canopy species, the vines (eg. Aphanopetalum resinosum) and epiphytes (Pyrrosia rupestris), which are a common feature across the older Devonian and Silurian sediments. Deep protected gullies on more enriched soils such as the Bindook Porphyry may present a richer floristic composition with stunted isolated examples of Toona ciliata, Dendrocnide excelsa or Alectryon subcinereus sharing the canopy.

In the very rugged gorge country of the Kowmung River these dry-subtropical rainforest species assume greater dominance, although rainfall levels remain low at around 850 millimetres per annum at elevations between 300 and 600 metres. Greater shelter and enriched Devonian sedimentary soils form a taller rainforest community dominated by a combination of Toona ciliata, Dendrocnide excelsa and Alectryon subcinereus. Ehretia acuminata, Brachychiton populneus subsp. populneus, Ficus rubiginosa and Backhousia myrtifolia are also common tree species. This has been described as Kowmung Dry Rainforest (MU4) after Keith and Benson (1988) and Steenbeeke (1990). The Red Cedar (Toona ciliata) found within this community was targeted by early settlers, with many stands displaying evidence of disturbance and rainforest regeneration, particularly in the lower reaches of the Kowmung and Coxs Creek. It is the most restricted rainforest community in the Special Area.

A moist low scrub occurs on Mount Wanganderry on basalt outcrops that indicate either a depauperate rainforest or a regenerating rainforest recovering from heavy disturbance. Highlands Basalt Acacia Scrub


(MU5) is dominated by Acacia melanoxylon with Rapanea howittiana, Aphanopetalum resinosum and Ficus rubiginosa. This community resembles other remnant rainforests present on the basalt soils of the Robertson Plateau to the east, although the rainfall levels are considerably lower by around 500 millimetres per year. As a result many cool-warm temperate rainforest species reliant on higher levels of rainfall, such as Doryphora sassafras, Acmena smithii and Quintinia sieberi, are not present. Only tiny fragments of this community remain.

Sheltered forests at lower elevations of the Kowmung and Coxs River Valleys support a greater component of plant species found in warmer coastal and hinterland environments. Along the sheltered lower slopes of the tributaries of the Kowmung River Sheltered Red Gum Forest (MU28) is the characteristic community. Eucalyptus tereticornis often dominates the canopy. In the most sheltered gradient of this assemblage Backhousia myrtifolia can form a dense shrub layer forming a community that is closely related to Grey Myrtle Dry Rainforest (MU3). Near watercourses and stream terraces both Angophora floribunda and Hymenanthera dentata gain prominence. In drier, upper slopes Eucalyptus punctata and E. crebra become canopy associates. Shrub species are much like those found in Kanangra Gorge Narrow-leaved Ironbark Forest (MU46) although more small trees of Backhousia myrtifolia and Brachychiton populneus subsp. populneus are found. The Kowmung Wattle (Acacia clunies-rossiae), a species listed as Vulnerable under the NSW Threatened Species Act (1995), is seen frequently amongst this assemblage.

4.1.2 Exposed Sandstone Plateaux Forests and Woodlands

Hawkesbury and Narrabeen Sandstones form extensive dissected plateaux across the north and east of the Special Area. They span an elevational range from 1000 metres at the Narrow Neck Plateau to 100 metres near Warragamba Dam and 700 metres near Mt. Wanganderry in the south. Topography is typified by broad flat ridges, exposed slopes, and sandstone benches that support a highly acidic, quartz rich sandy loam. Variation in vegetation communities on the sandstone is less influenced by whether the soil is derived from Narrabeen or Hawkesbury series parent geology than it is by soil depth, exposure, proximity to the coast and gradual change in elevation and rainfall. There are two main patterns that describe the variation in vegetation: exposed shrubby woodlands found on ridgetops and upper slopes and dry shrubby forests. These patterns repeat themselves within different environmental gradients.

Exposed Woodlands

Exposed woodlands occur on ridgetops and very exposed slopes with shallow sandy soils. A narrowly defined group of Eucalypt canopy species are not always helpful in describing Exposed Burragorang Sandstone Shrub Woodland (MU41). Shallow sandy soils on broad sandstone ridgetops of the Nattai, Burragorang and Kings Tablelands feature an open woodland dominated by Eucalyptus piperita, Corymbia gummifera and Stringybarks (mostly E. sparsifolia, E. globoidea and/or E. oblonga). The Narrabeen Sandstones found on the Kings Tableland may include other tree species such as Angophora costata and Syncarpia glomulifera subsp. glomulifera. Corymbia eximia has a scattered occurrence and is most often seen around Thirlmere and on the Burragorang Tablelands. More characteristic of this community is a well-developed heath and shrub stratum comprising Banksia spinulosa var. spinulosa, Leptospermum trinervium and Lambertia formosa. This community is characterised by exposed aspects, warm temperatures and moderate to high rainfall.

Exposed Blue Mountains Sandstone Woodland (MU40) occurs on higher elevations (generally above 600 metres) and occurs on both Triassic sandstone plateaux and residual Permian sandstone outcrops. Eucalyptus sclerophylla is most often the dominant species in the low open canopy. A high abundance of Cyathochaeta diandra is seen in the understorey with shrubs such as Banksia spinulosa var. spinulosa, Lambertia formosa and Hakea dactyloides. Eucalyptus sparsifolia, E. piperita and E. sieberi can also associate in the canopy. On Narrow Neck cliff edges, Eucalyptus oreades is often common. It differs from exposed woodlands at lower elevations in the absence of Corymbia gummifera and Eucalyptus punctata in the tree layer and the greater prominence of Isopogon anemonifolius and Monotoca scoparia in the shrub stratum.

Rocky Sandstone Heath Woodland (MU42) describes the extremely exposed assemblage which occurs across precipitous rocky escarpment edges and slopes. It has been recorded from Wanganderry Walls north to the high ridges of Ruined Castle Ridge approaching Mount Solitary. Canopy species most frequently include Eucalyptus sieberi but can also include E. piperita, Angophora costata, Corymbia eximia, E. pilularis and E. sclerophylla. Banksia serrata is more frequently found within this assemblage than any others, possibly due to the steep and colluvial nature of the soils creating occasionally deep


patches of sand. Hakea dactyloides and Isopogon anemonifolius are also frequent shrubs. It is generally a very open and stunted canopy due to the harsh nature of the sites.

An interesting variation to these typical sandstone woodlands occurs on the broad flats of the Burragorang Plateau not far from the interface between the Shale and Sandstone soils (Burragorang Sandstone Dry Shrub Forest - MU27). A taller forest comprising Angophora costata and Corymbia gummifera with a dense smaller tree layer of Syncarpia glomulifera subsp. glomulifera is common over a distinctive sandstone shrub and heath layer. This community forms a narrow arc between Oakdale and Warragamba, where at its northern limit, Eucalyptus pilularis occurs in the canopy. It is uncertain whether shale influences lie behind the development of this taller community, though species such as Themeda australis, Aristida vagans and Bursaria spinosa that often identify the transitional gradient are not found.

Exposed Permian Sandstone Woodlands (Map Unit 47) are found on the driest and most impoverished sites found on Permian sediments. It is typically associated with highly exposed locations on skeletal soils often with outcropping sandstone bedrock. Soils are sandy and as result the floristic composition closely resembles that found on Triassic Hawkesbury and Narrabeen Plateaux. Canopy species vary depending on location and may include combinations such as Eucalyptus sclerophylla, Corymbia gummifera, Angophora costata and E. punctata. Invariably, however, Angophora bakeri features as a small tree beneath the canopy. Combinations of species in the shrub layer such as Banksia spinulosa var. spinulosa, Leptospermum trinervium and Hovea linearis are equally indicative of the community when compared to adjoining woodlands occurring on Permian substrate.

Dry Forests

Increases in the depth of the sandy soil results in a taller canopy and a slightly more open shrub layer. Typically these forests are associated with colluvial soils on drier upper slopes and on broad ridgetops where rock outcropping is less pronounced. There are two major dry forest communities that occupy these sandstone environments and these reflect gradual changes in elevation and rainfall.

In the southern drier environments of the Wild Goat and Nattai Plateau the dominant canopy species are Corymbia gummifera, Eucalyptus piperita, and E. agglomerata. The shrub species Banksia spinulosa var. spinulosa, Persoonia levis and Leptospermum trinervium are common. This community has been mapped as Nattai Sandstone Dry Shrub Forest (MU26). Closely aligned in structure and floristic composition is Blue Mountains Sandstone Dry Shrub Forest (MU25). This community is more regularly defined by combinations of Eucalyptus piperita, Corymbia gummifera, Angophora costata, E. sparsifolia and Syncarpia glomulifera subsp. glomulifera. Shrub species are similar to MU26 although species such as Lambertia formosa, Persoonia linearis and Lomandra longifolia are more abundant.

4.1.3 Sandstone Plateaux Moist Forests and Rainforests

The deeply dissected gorges and escarpment slopes associated with the Sandstone Plateaux in the north and east of the Special Area support Sandstone Gully Warm Temperate Rainforest (MU1). It is typical of the rainforests found at mid to lower elevations of the greater Blue Mountains. A dense canopy of Ceratopetalum apetalum, Doryphora sassafras and Acmena smithii develops with a cover of soft ferns beneath. Backhousia myrtifolia is often present in slightly drier sites or where fire has more frequently penetrated the rainforest. Rainfall is generally above 1000 millimetres per year, with some sites occurring in deeper gorges at lower rainfall levels around 900 millimetres. As elevations approach 700 metres, cooler temperatures encourage the development of species such as Quintinia sieberi, often featuring as smaller trees. In deeply incised gorges of Narrabeen Sandstone, creeklines support a finer grained alluvium. In Pocket and Pearces Creek, where rainfall exceeds 1100 millimetres per year, Toona ciliata has been recorded (Wootten, 1965) amongst typical warm temperate rainforest species.

Sandstone Moist Blue Gum Forest (MU8) supports the most abundant mesic species within Eucalypt dominated communities found on sandstone. It most often adjoins the thin ribbons of rainforest that follow small creeklines found in deeply incised gullies or on very protected south facing escarpment slopes. Tall to very tall Eucalyptus deanei are prominent in the canopy along with Syncarpia glomulifera subsp. glomulifera. The understorey supports a well-developed mesic layer that includes species that are typical of the adjoining rainforest including Ceratopetalum apetalum and Acmena smithii. Sheltered Sandstone Intermediate Blue Gum Forest (MU9) is the more common gullyline vegetation community found on the Kings and Burragorang Tablelands. The rainforest shrubs and trees found in the previous community are less dominant with the understorey more often characterised by a soft covering of ferns and hardier small tree species such as Elaeocarpus reticulatus and Tristaniopsis collina. The canopy


regularly includes Angophora costata in combination with the Eucalyptus deanei and Syncarpia glomulifera subsp. glomulifera found in MU8.

4.1.4 Sandstone Plateaux Sheltered Forests

Angophora costata and Syncarpia glomulifera subsp. glomulifera completely dominate the sheltered midslopes of the Narrabeen Sandstones found on the Kings Tableland. The soil is drier and shallower and as a result a mix of both xeric and mesic shrub species are found above a fern layer of Calochlaena dubia. This community has been mapped as Sheltered Sandstone Smooth-barked Apple Forest (MU10).

Mean annual rainfall is considerably lower on the Nattai, Wild Goat and Southern Burragorang Plateau (around 850 millimetres) compared to the Kings Tableland (1100 millimetres). In the drier environments the sheltered slopes are covered by Sheltered Sandstone Blue-leaved Stringybark Forest (MU11). Eucalyptus agglomerata and E. punctata are the dominant tree species with Syncarpia glomulifera subsp. glomulifera and Angophora costata less prominent the drier it becomes until the Wild Goat Plateau, where they are totally absent. Understorey contains elements of both moist and dry with shrubs such as Persoonia linearis, Leucopogon lanceolatus var. lanceolatus and Banksia spinulosa var. spinulosa with scattered small tress of Elaeocarpus reticulatus, Ceratopetalum gummiferum and Acacia elata.

4.1.5 Mittagong Sandstone Forests and Woodlands

Toward the southern highlands around Mount Wanganderry the Plateau rises in elevation and reaches 800 metres. Here a different ridgetop forest community develops. Highlands Sandstone Dry Shrub Forest (MU24) supports a canopy comprising Eucalyptus agglomerata, E. punctata, E. sieberi and Angophora costata. In these highland environments a number of floristic changes occur from the plateaux to the north. Corymbia gummifera and Lambertia formosa so prominent elsewhere are no longer present and species such as Stypandra glauca mark the ground layer. The causal factors behind these changes are uncertain. However, it may be that there is a greater clay content in the soil from the surrounding shale soils. These variations were recognised by Fisher et al. (1995) as a different community to those occurring elsewhere on Triassic Sandstone.

At higher elevations at Mt. Wanganderry, similar transitional forests develop, although the composition of the community is different (Highlands Transitional Shale Woodland (MU55)). The rim of the shale is characterised by Eucalyptus punctata and E. globoidea with species more common to the adjoining shale soils such as E. elata, E. radiata subsp. radiata and E. tereticornis. The understorey includes species such as Leptospermum trinervium, Allocasuarina littoralis and Persoonia linearis with the grasses Entolasia stricta and Microlaena stipoides var. stipoides.

4.1.6 Vegetation Communities on the Shale Soils of the Cumberland Plain

Soils derived from Wianamatta Shale are restricted to the eastern boundary of the Special Area around the Razorback Range and Oakdale Plateau. Small areas also outcrop around the rim of the basalt cap at Mt. Wanganderry in the Southern Highlands. This area is significantly higher in elevation than that found on the Razorback Range and Cumberland Plain.

The Razorback Range and Oakdale Plateau run along the eastern boundary of the Special Area near the townships of Oakdale and The Oaks between 150 and 450 metres in elevation. The fine-grained shale soils are fertile and support distinctive open grassy forests and woodlands that are much more widely distributed to the east and north across the Cumberland Plain. Due to the fertile nature of these soils much of the vegetation has been cleared and utilised for various agricultural pursuits. Comprehensive survey, analysis and mapping of these environments were undertaken by NPWS (2000b) and forms the background to the discussion and definitions included in this report.

Two closely related vegetation communities occur on the pure Wianamatta Shale soil found along the eastern boundary. These are described as Cumberland Shale Plains Woodland and Cumberland Shale Hills Woodland (NPWS, 2000b). They are both open grassy woodlands with a canopy dominated by Eucalyptus moluccana, E. tereticornis and to a lesser degree E. crebra. A small tree stratum is often present with Acacia implexa as well as a shrub stratum dominated by Bursaria spinosa. Typically a dense ground cover of grass and herb species is present including Dichondra repens, Brunoniella australis, Aristida ramosa, Desmodium varians, Microlaena stipoides var. stipoides, Themeda australis and Cheilanthes sieberi subsp. sieberi. Variation in elevation, rainfall and ruggedness underpins the floristic differences between the two communities, with Shale Plains Woodland typical of the flat, low rainfall areas of the Cumberland Plain and Shale Hills Woodland common at higher elevations. The


Special Area supports only small remnants of these communities, with areas of scattered trees over farm paddocks more prevalent. However, both form a component of the Cumberland Plain Woodlands, an Endangered Ecological Community listed under Part 3, Schedule 1 of the Threatened Species Conservation Act, 1995.

Sandstones from the Mittagong Formation are exposed in the incised drainage lines of the Oakdale Plateau. In these areas Oakdale Blackbutt Gully Forest (Map Unit 22) develops on sandstone bedrock. However, the colluvial transport of eroded Wianamatta Shale material influences the composition of the forest particularly near the headwaters of streams. It has a typical overstorey of Eucalyptus pilularis and Syncarpia glomulifera subsp. glomulifera with Allocasuarina torulosa. Small tree and shrub species including Pittosporum revolutum, Acacia penninervis var. penninervis, A. floribunda, A. parramattensis and Elaeocarpus reticulatus are indicative of these soil properties. As the creeks descend further into the sandstone bedrock the forest grades into Sheltered Sandstone Intermediate Blue Gum Forest.

Virtually all of the original native vegetation occurring on the Wianamatta Shale at Mt. Wanganderry has been removed. Highly modified remnants and scattered trees offer insights into what was once likely to be a tall and majestic grassy forest that included Eucalyptus radiata subsp. radiata, E. globoidea, E. bosistoana and E. tereticornis. These shale forests once formed part of an extensive forest cover across the Southern Highlands. Remnant patches of such forest have been included in Wanganderry Tall Open Forest (MU19). This community forms a component of the Southern Highlands Shale Woodlands, an Endangered Ecological Community listed under Part 3, Schedule 1 of the Threatened Species Conservation Act, 1995.

4.1.7 Vegetation Communities on the Shale/Sandstone Transition

The interface of the younger shale substrates with the Triassic Sandstone Plateaux is found along the eastern boundary from Mt. Wanganderry to Warragamba. It also occurs on the edge of remnant shale caps that occur on the sandstone plateau. The change between the two soil types is rarely abrupt (NPWS, 2000b) and the resultant ecotone has lead to considerable debate on Transitional Forests. Pidgeon (1941) made reference to vegetation communities that shared species common to both shale and sandstone soils found between Thirlmere and Warragamba. NPWS (2000b) concluded that the increasing influence of sandstone in the soil associated with diminishing thickness of the overlying shale stratum results in recognisable differences in floristic composition.

The first of these is Cumberland Plain Shale Sandstone Transition Forest (High Sandstone Influence) (NPWS, 2000b) and is the most widespread. This community (Map Unit 57) is mostly found on shallow, residual clay soils, but also on high-quartz Sandstone where there is a strong colluvial shale influence. The majority of sample sites for this community are located on broad flat ridges underlain by Mittagong Formation Sandstone. It is a forest dominated by a wide variety of Eucalypt species although Eucalyptus punctata and E. crebra were the most regularly recorded. Eucalyptus notabilis and the closely related E. resinifera subsp. resinifera are very common within this community in the Special Area. A smaller tree stratum is usually present including Allocasuarina littoralis, Syncarpia glomulifera subsp. glomulifera and Acacia decurrens. This community usually has a well-developed shrub layer, reflecting the influence of Sandstone in the soil. The shrub stratum is dominated by Kunzea ambigua, Persoonia linearis and Bursaria spinosa. The ground stratum is dominated by Entolasia stricta, Themeda australis, Austrostipa pubescens, Lepidosperma laterale, Aristida vagans and Pomax umbellata.

Cumberland Plain Shale Sandstone Transition Forest (Low Sandstone Influence) develops as the influence of shale soil becomes more dominant. This community (Map Unit 56) marks the start of the transition from the pure shale communities to those found on the surrounding sandstone. It is relatively infrequent within the Special Area due to the shallow nature of the residual shale soils in this area. This community contains relatively few species commonly observed on sandstone derived soils. It is dominated by Eucalyptus tereticornis with E. eugenioides, E. crebra, E. fibrosa and E. punctata occurring less frequently. Small trees are usually present including Allocasuarina littoralis and Acacia decurrens as is a shrub layer dominated by Bursaria spinosa. A diverse array of forb species is always present, frequently including Microlaena stipoides var. stipoides, Cheilanthes sieberi subsp. sieberi, Dichondra repens, Themeda australis and Oxalis perennans.

4.1.8 Dry Grassy-Box Ironbark Woodlands on Devonian Geology

Devonian Porphyritic rocks cover an extensive area across the Wollondilly Gorge and Bindook Highlands spanning elevations between 200 metres to 900 metres above sea level. These rocks are volcanic and


have an appearance similar to fine grained granites, although particle size can be quite variable. They erode to form a clay-loam soil that is of a moderate fertility.

At the lowest elevations, Devonian Red Gum-Ironbark Woodland (Map Unit 52) is found. This community occupies exposed positions on the undulating hillslopes across the Jooriland area in the Lower Wollondilly Valley. Summer temperatures are amongst the warmest of the Special Area. These influences contribute to the persistence of a dry open woodland dominated by Eucalyptus tereticornis in combination with E. crebra and a number of box trees that vary between E. moluccana, E. melliodora and E. albens. The understorey is generally comprised of a low sparse shrub layer with a diverse, abundant ground cover dominated by grasses. Frequent species include Astroloma humifusum, Olearia viscidula, Cymbopogon refractus, Aristida ramosa, Oxalis perennans, Panicum effusum, Dichondra repens and Lomandra multiflora subsp. multiflora. Eucalyptus albens is indicative of vegetation communities found more frequently on the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range, and its presence in the Jooriland Valley marks the easterly extent of this species. The area also highlights the convergence of coastal and westerly influences where two closely related species (Eucalyptus moluccana and E. albens) hybridise in the same way that they do in the Upper Hunter Valley. These westerly influences suggest that this community forms a component of the White Box-Yellow Box-Blakely’s Red Gum Woodland Endangered Ecological Community listed on Part 3 of Schedule 1 of the Threatened Species Conservation Act, 1995.

Further upstream, the Wollondilly Valley begins to narrow and the surrounding hillslopes become increasingly steep resulting in shallow soils and more exposed rock. From Campbell Creek upstream to Millnigang Creek, the Wollondilly Valley primarily runs in a north south-direction, offering protection from cold winter westerly winds. The low open woodland supports Eucalyptus tereticornis and E. moluccana and has been classified as Devonian Red Gum-Grey Box Woodland (MU53). As with other box woodland communities, grass diversity is high, although the slight increase in shelter (provided through increasing ruggedness) allows for an array of moist shrub, herb and vine species to proliferate. Dichondra repens, Desmodium varians, Ficus rubiginosa, Pandorea pandorana subsp. pandorana and Cissus opaca are examples.

In the far south of the Special Area, the Wollondilly River runs west to east and the surrounding valley is higher in elevation and often steeper than the rest of the valley. Increased exposure to westerly winds and cooler temperature result in a change in the floristic composition of the vegetation. Eucalyptus melliodora replaces E. moluccana as the associate canopy species to E. tereticornis. The moist herbs and vines are no longer prominent and are replaced by an abundance of tussock grasses (Poa spp.) below a shrub layer of Olearia viscidula, Lissanthe strigosa, Bursaria spinosa and Cassinia laevis. Described as Devonian Red Gum-Yellow Box Woodland (Map Unit 51), this community is one of the more widespread communities occurring on Bindook Porphyry and is prominent near Tallygang Mountain. It also occurs in the cool and exposed slopes near Hellgate Gorge in the Jenolan Valley.

At lower elevations (less than 800 metres) on the metasediments a different series of exposed communities occur. Kowmung and Kanangra Gorges and the Coxs River encompass these environments. Kanangra Gorge Narrow-leaved Ironbark Woodland (MU46) occupies the dry exposed west and north facing slopes. Eucalyptus crebra and the closely related E. beyeriana are dominant and form a sparse low woodland across the most exposed slopes. This assemblage is common on the mid to lower slopes and can often associate with Eucalyptus tereticornis or Angophora floribunda. Up slope from riparian zones where shelter increases slightly Eucalyptus punctata and sometimes Stringybarks (E. eugenioides or E. sparsifolia) associate. Understorey shrubs are mostly Bursaria spinosa, Lissanthe strigosa, Indigofera australis, Olearia viscidula and Breynia oblongifolia.

One of the more distinctive and unusual vegetation communities that occurs in the Special Area is the Douglas Scarp Woodland (Fisher et al., 1995). It comprises a canopy of Eucalyptus crebra and Callitris endlicheri with a shrub layer characterised by Acacia binervia. The most extensive area occurs on exposed Shoalhaven Group bedrock near Jooriland in the rain shadow of the Wollondilly Valley. Smaller outcrops are found at Policemans Ridge at the northern end of Scotts Main Range.

4.1.9 Tall Grassy Forests on Devonian Geology

The Porphyry found on the Bindook Highlands forms a high elevation plateau in the central area of the plateau. This area supports a high diversity of eucalypt species, although the floristic patterns are relatively consistent. Atop the highlands proper, on the higher, porphyry ridges of Millnigang Ridge and Bullnigang Heights, a tall open grassy forest (Bindook Highlands Open Forest (MU16)) features Eucalyptus punctata, E. eugenioides, E. muelleriana, E. radiata subsp. radiata and E. cypellocarpa. The understorey is characterised by scattered small trees of Acacia mearnsii and A. falciformis. Olearia


viscidula, Microlaena stipoides, Dichondra repens, and Pteridium esculentum form common lower stratum species. The descent into deeper gullies introduces areas of tall forest dominated by Eucalyptus fastigata (MU7).

Much of the Bindook Highlands support very gently sloping gully lines and flats. These support very open forests that provide a rich ground cover of forbs and grasses. Canopy species can be highly variable although Eucalyptus viminalis, E. elata, E. tereticornis and E. eugenioides are most prominent (Sheltered Porphyry Forest (MU18)). Smaller trees of Acacia falciformis are common with Melaleuca styphelioides found in the gully line proper. Olearia viscidula may be locally abundant. Sheltered slopes are similar in floristic composition although are more likely to be dominated by Eucalyptus punctata and E. cypellocarpa.

The driest of these open forest forms is Highland Slopes Grey Gum-Stringybark Forest (MU31). This is found across the exposed fringing upper slopes, which surround the edges of the Bindook Highlands. Here the canopy is dominated by Eucalyptus punctata, E. agglomerata or with E. eugenioides. Eucalyptus blaxlandii is recorded at higher elevations and E. bosistoana can also occur amongst this canopy particularly at the heads of gullies on the edge of escarpments and gorges. A scattered shrub understorey and a herbaceous lower stratum with species such as Stypandra glauca, Lomandra longifolia, Dichondra repens and Poa sieberiana var. sieberiana is most often found.

Another sheltered forest community occurs on the lower elevations on the eastern fall of the Bindook Highlands. Areas between Green Creek and the Jooriland Valley include a forest dominated by Eucalyptus punctata, E. eugenioides, E. tereticornis and E. crebra (Map Unit 21). This vegetation community is more extensively distributed on sheltered Devonian quartzites found in the Kanangra Gorges.

Another unusual and highly restricted community is Yerranderie White-topped Box Forest (MU17). Found on the transition of Permian and Devonian geology near Yerranderie on the Bindook Highlands, this community supports a distinct canopy of Eucalyptus quadrangulata. It includes associate canopy species that are indicative of the transition between the two soil types such as Eucalyptus tereticornis, E. punctata and E. agglomerata.

Further south in the Wingecarribee Gorges Highlands Gorge River Peppermint Forest (Map Unit 15) forms the prominent vegetation community in sheltered situations. This is a tall forest dominated by dense stands of regrowth Eucalyptus elata. Common associate species include Eucalyptus punctata, E. radiata subsp. radiata and E. cypellocarpa. Eucalyptus smithii is prominent around the heads of minor gully lines. Greater shelter encourages a diversity of herbs and ferns amongst an otherwise open understorey of Lomandra longifolia and Microlaena stipoides.

4.1.10 Sheltered Tall Forests on Escarpment Colluvial Soils

On the steepest, most sheltered escarpment slopes of the Burragorang Valley, Sheltered Escarpment Blue Gum Forest (Map Unit 13) occurs. It is prominent on steep south facing slopes on deeper soils found directly below escarpment cliffs. It is characterised by a tall canopy of Eucalyptus deanei and a dense, often impenetrable cover of vines and climbers. In areas such as Little River and Sheeys Creek, the rare box Eucalyptus hypostomatica forms a very distinctive thin band within this community that appears to follow the line of the Illawarra Coal Measures within the Shoalhaven Group.

At lower elevations and on less protected sites Escarpment Grey Gum Forest (Map Unit 14) is widespread. This community is dominated by Eucalyptus punctata, E. eugenioides and Allocasuarina torulosa with E. tereticornis occurring near escarpment drainage lines. The understorey is characterised by a dense herbaceous layer with low growing vine and grass species. As shelter increases Eucalyptus deanei and Syncarpia glomulifera subsp. glomulifera are sometimes found. Conversely, the canopy opens and includes species such as Eucalyptus fibrosa as exposure gradually increases.

On gentler slopes of moderate shelter Kanangra Gorge Sheltered Grey Gum Forest (MU21) predominates. The canopy is tall, and includes Eucalyptus punctata, E. eugenioides, E. tereticornis, E crebra and E. beyeriana. In lower slopes or gullies Angophora floribunda or Eucalyptus tereticornis become more frequent as the community grades into MU28. There are also scattered occurrences of the Coastal Grey and Yellow Boxes (Eucalyptus bosistoana and E. melliodora) mostly on upper slopes and sometimes ridgetop saddles. Eucalyptus cypellocarpa also associates in some gullies. Allocasuarina torulosa is more prominent than the moister vegetation found in MU46 with the understorey generally more open and containing a greater cover of herbs and small ferns amongst the ground cover. The north western slopes of the Scotts Main Range provide good examples of this community.


The escarpment that bridges the Megalong and Kedumba Valley reaches over 600 metres in elevation on the lower to mid slopes. These escarpment slopes at these elevations are primarily west facing though the moderately deep Permian colluvium supports a tall forest Escarpment Mountain Grey Gum Forest (Map Unit 12). The more common Eucalyptus deanei found at lower elevations is replaced by E. cypellocarpa (Keith and Benson, 1988) with ferns Pteridium esculentum and Calochlaena dubia and the rush Lomandra longifolia characterising the open understorey.

4.1.11 Exposed Escarpment Slopes Dry Shrubby Woodlands

Escarpment Slopes Dry Ironbark Woodland (Map Unit 48) is the most widespread community found on crests and exposed Permian slopes of the Burragorang, Kedumba and Nattai Valleys. Shallow sandy soils with abundant sandstone outcropping are found from upper to lower escarpment slopes. These environments are typified by very warm summers and mean annual rainfall between 800 and 900 millimetres per year. It has a low open canopy comprising Eucalyptus fibrosa and E. punctata. An unusual component of this community is one of the narrow-leaved stringybarks, Eucalyptus ralla, which exhibits a preference for deeper yellow podsols on escarpment benches and flat gently sloping ridges. The understorey is generally a sparse mixture of low sclerophyllous shrubs such as Persoonia linearis and Lissanthe strigosa and grasses including Aristida vagans.

Residual Permian Conglomerates found along the Scotts Main Range form an open woodland (MU40) typical of those found on the sandstone plateaux at higher elevations. This community is discussed in greater detail in 4.1.2. In the same region Tonalli Escarpment Dry Shrub Forest (MU33) describes a community occurring on colluvial sandstone material commonly found at the base of cliffs and escarpments of the dramatic Tonalli and Blue Breaks sandstone walls. Eucalyptus punctata and E. agglomerata are commonly found sometimes with E. piperita. A dense heath layer includes species typical of sandy soils and includes a variety of Banksia, Acacia and Leptospermum species.

Variation in the sedimentary material found amongst the Permian substrate influences the composition of the vegetation. On the escarpment footslopes, the soil material is fine grained, derived from shale or siltstone bedrock that lies below the Permian sandstone strata. The soil is a clay loam rather than a sandy loam, though some sandstone outcropping may be present. Described as Permian Footslopes Grassy Grey Box Forest (Map Unit 32), this community features Eucalyptus moluccana and E. tereticornis as the common tree species. Understorey supports a diversity of grasses and where soil comprises a greater component of sand, shrubs such as Persoonia linearis and Acacia ulicifolia may occur. Many of the remaining patches of this community are regenerating following heavy grazing up until the acquisition of private lands for catchment management purposes.

Exposed Devonian Grey Gum Forest (Map Unit 29) is found on exposed spurs and crests of the Kowmung Valley. The forest is dominated by Eucalyptus punctata often in association with E. agglomerata and less frequently E. crebra. A dry, low open shrub layer is associated with the skeletal soil and surface rock.

The band of Permian Geology extends into the south east of the Special Area south along the Wanganderry Walls and into the Joadja Nature Reserve on the south side of the Wombeyan Caves Road. Sheltered Permian forests are found on the slopes of the Joadja Area as the Valley descends into tributaries of the Wingecarribee River. Two different vegetation communities occur on Permian soils from those found to the north, and both are more extensively distributed outside of the Special Area. Wingecarribee Slopes Stringybark Forest (Map Unit 30) occurs on drier slopes around Deep Creek. This community is a dry open forest dominated by Eucalyptus punctata and E. globoidea. It is distributed within a narrow band of elevation (500 to 700 metres). There is considerable gradation on the lower slopes with adjoining Devonian material and in these areas Eucalyptus melliodora and E. bridgesiana may be observed. The understorey is moderately open with scattered small trees and a shrub layer as well as a sparse ground cover. Common species include Persoonia linearis, Olearia viscidula, Lissanthe strigosa, Allocasuarina littoralis, Pomax umbellata, Microlaena stipoides, Lomandra multiflora subsp. multiflora, Goodenia hederacea subsp. hederacea and Stypandra glauca.

In the far south of the Special Area in the valleys below the Joadja Nature Reserve, the older rocks associated with the Ordovician Period are again exposed. The valley itself is very dry with infertile metasediments found on the footslopes. A very open and dry woodland occurs on these gentle slopes exhibiting distinctive influences from the adjoining Highlands and Tablelands. Highlands Dry Scribbly Gum Woodland (MU54) includes Eucalyptus rossii, E. macrorhyncha, E. cinerea and E. punctata. A very dry, open understorey that includes Lomandra filiformis, Olearia viscidula and Stypandra glauca are scattered throughout.


4.1.12 High Elevation Dry Shrub Forests

Montane Sandstone Silvertop Ash Shrub Woodland (MU34), covers the ridgetops of the Black, Ti Willa and Gangerang Ranges. This forest occurs on elevations between 850 and 1200 metres on residual Permian sandstone. It is closely related to a similarly named community occurring on the Devonian substrates (MU35). The Permian sandstones derive a more siliceous soil than the Devonian Sediments. As a result MU34 has a considerably more prominent shrub understorey. Stands of Eucalyptus sieberi are dominant but may include stringybarks such as E. sparsifolia or E. blaxlandii. Ground stratum species are perhaps the most indicative for distinguishing between Map Units 34 and 35. More typical sandstone species, such as Platysace lanceolata, Patersonia glabrata, Caustis flexuosa and Xanthosia pilosa will occur within MU34, whereas in MU35 there is more Dianella revoluta var. revoluta and Poa sieberiana var. sieberiana.

The influence of the residual Permian sandstone material extends considerably further downslope beyond the residual plateaux than is shown on currently available soils mapping. Montane Sandstone Dry Shrub Forest (MU37) forms on sheltered aspects beneath Ti Willa and Gangerang Plateaux. Eucalyptus radiata subsp. radiata is the dominant tree species and co-occurs with E. cypellocarpa and E. blaxlandii. The understorey associated with this community includes Leptospermum polygalifolium, Banksia spinulosa var. spinulosa, Leucopogon lanceolatus var. lanceolatus, B. marginata, Acacia obtusifolia, Hakea salicifolia and Persoonia linearis.

Montane Exposed Silvertop Ash Forest (MU35) occurs on Devonian Quartzites at elevations between 850 and 1050 metres along the exposed ridgetops of the Bindook Highlands, Murruin Range, and upper ridges of the Kowmung Gorge. The forest is dominated by dense stands of Eucalyptus sieberi, sometimes with E. radiata subsp. radiata or E. blaxlandii. The understorey is moderately open with scattered shrubs of Podolobium ilicifolium and Leucopogon lanceolatus var. lanceolatus, with Pteridium esculentum, Lomatia silaifolia and Poa sieberiana var. sieberiana

Montane Slopes Stringybark Forest (MU36) is abundant on drier slopes across all soils derived from the Ordovician metasediments. It occurs at mid to high elevations (between 600 and 900 metres). Eucalyptus blaxlandii forms dense stands, sometimes with E. radiata subsp. radiata, E. cypellocarpa, E. sieberi and E. punctata. The understorey is generally low and shrubby reflecting exposed locations. Species may include Hakea salicifolia, Leucopogon lanceolatus var. lanceolatus, Persoonia linearis and Podolobium ilicifolium. More sheltered sites may include Notelaea longifolia forma longifolia and Elaeocarpus reticulatus.

4.1.13 River Flat, Alluvial and Riparian Vegetation Communities

Extensive alluvial networks drain the escarpment slopes and wander through the floor of the large valleys of the Special Area. Forests and woodlands occur on these alluvial deposits throughout this area. Tablelands River Oak Forest (Map Unit 39) is the most widespread of these communities occurring along the banks that adjoin watercourses of the main rivers and creeks. It is typically found as a narrow ribbon of vegetation growing amongst the mobile alluvial sediments adjacent to the river channel. It often widens where alluvial sediments have been deposited to form a valley flat. This community can be readily identified by the tall Casuarina cunninghamiana subsp. cunninghamiana. Other canopy and understorey species are somewhat variable, being affected by location within Special Area, soil depth and characteristics, disturbance, distance from waterline and time since flooding. Angophora floribunda is one of the more common associate species, most often forming a narrow band behind the ribbon of Casuarina. Generally, the understorey is dominated by a dense cover of forb and grass species. Weeds occur amongst this community as a result of grazing pressures and proximity to water dispersed weeds such as Willow (Salix spp.).

Closely associated to Tableland River Oak Forest is River Fringe Reedland (MU76). This occurs along the banks of major rivers and creeks on waterlogged, mobile alluvium. It is a rush (Typha domingensis or T. orientalis) dominant assemblage with Schoenoplectus validus and Juncus usitatus forming the dominant species. Other shorter herbs and forbs occur as a lower stratum and include Alternanthera denticulata, Centipeda cunninghamii, Hydrocotyle peduncularis, Persicaria decipiens, P. hydropiper and Eleocharis acuta. Many of these species are unique to these environments within the Special Area. However, given the ephemeral nature of this community and its small size it has not been mapped as part of this project.

The alluvial deposits found on the river flats of the Burragorang, Kedumba and Nattai Valleys vary in depth, texture and grain size. For the most part the alluvium is derived from the Triassic and Permian Sediments resulting in a high proportion of sand in the soil. These flats support a tall forest described as


Burragorang River Flat Forest (Map Unit 23). Eucalyptus deanei with E. elata and Angophora floribunda are most frequently recorded in the canopy with the latter species common closer to the riverbank. Eucalyptus benthamii, a vulnerable species listed on the Threatened Species Conservation Act (1995), is also found in disjunct patches in the Kedumba and Nattai Valleys. In low-lying back swamps, Eucalyptus tereticornis is sometimes present. Shrubs are variable in density from sparse to dense depending on recent disturbance from grazing, fire or floods. The ground cover is invariably grassy with an abundance of herb species.

In contrast, Dry Alluvial Paperbark Woodland (Map Unit 49) forms narrow strips alongside minor drainage lines associated with the gentle footslopes underneath the escarpments of the major valleys. These areas occur at elevations less than 250 metres and are characterised by warm and dry climates. Melaleuca styphelioides is the prominent tree species occurring in and alongside dry creek beds. Trees typical of the surrounding Permian soils such as Eucalyptus punctata and E. fibrosa often overhang the creekline. Backhousia myrtifolia and Acacia parramattensis are patchy, as is the cover of grasses and ferns.

Similar to the MU23, Oakdale Alluvial Rough-barked Apple Forest (Map Unit 38) occurs in the Werriberri Catchment near the interface of Wianamatta Shale and Sandstones of the Mittagong Formation. It is associated with alluvial soils however the presence of sandy material in this alluvium distinguishes the community from those found on heavier shale soils (such as Map Unit 58). It is transitional in its floristic characteristics. Indicative species include Angophora floribunda, Eucalyptus eugenioides, E. deanei, E. tereticornis, Allocasuarina torulosa, Acacia floribunda and Acacia parramattensis in the upper stratum. Common species in the understorey layers include Breynia oblongifolia, Bursaria spinosa, Microlaena stipoides var. stipoides, Pteridium esculentum, Pratia purpurascens and Adiantum aethiopicum.

Creeklines that drain the pure Wianamatta Shales near the eastern boundary of the Special Area occur along Monkey Creek and its tributaries. These support the western edge of the Cumberland Plain Alluvial Woodland (Map Unit 58), a community dominated by Red Gums (Eucalyptus amplifolia subsp. amplifolia and E. tereticornis). A small tree layer is typically present with Acacia parramattensis, Casuarina glauca and Melaleuca linariifolia. Angophora floribunda also occurs, spread between both canopy and small tree stratums. The shrub stratum is often sparse whereas a dense ground cover is usually present and is dominated by a rich cover of grasses and herbs. North of The Oaks, this drainage system cuts downwards into Hawkesbury Sandstone sediments with a resultant change in vegetation. This community forms part of the Sydney Coastal River Flat Forest, an Endangered Ecological Community listed under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act, 1995.

Alluvial Flats are also present at higher elevations at Limeburners Flat in the far south west of the Special Area. At around 700 metres in elevation these flats form frost hollows and cold sinks. A low, open woodland of Eucalyptus stellulata forms a fringe around the back terraces of the alluvial flat. Much of the vegetation has been cleared and the understorey varies between one dominated by tussock grasses or low growing herbs. Tablelands Black Sally Woodland (MU44) has a restricted distribution within the Special Area although it is widely distributed across the Southern Tablelands.

Sandstone Riparian Scrub (Map Unit 6) is a very simple rainforest community that mixes elements of Warm Temperate Rainforest species with sclerophyllous shrubs. It is mainly restricted to gully lines and rocky exposed gorges of Hawkesbury Sandstone. Generally a low scrub, this community comprises Tristaniopsis laurina, Backhousia myrtifolia, Ceratopetalum apetalum and Allocasuarina littoralis. Shrubs of Tristania neriifolia, Lomatia myricoides and Acacia obtusifolia are typical. A dense cover of ground ferns, such as Sticherus flabellatus var. flabellatus, may occur. Composition of the community varies depending on exposure.

4.1.14 Tableland Woodlands

West along Mount Fatigue Fire Trail, the vegetation is increasingly influenced by a Tablelands climate of cold winters and warm summers. Tablelands Exposed Silvertop Ash-Brittle Gum Woodland (MU43) comprises a different mix of species to other exposed woodlands found at higher elevations. While Eucalyptus sieberi remains prominent in the canopy other associate trees such as E. dives and E. mannifera subsp. mannifera are more frequent. A dense cover of the tussock grass Poa sieberiana var. sieberiana is the conspicuous feature of the relatively open understorey. This community is extensive immediately west of the Dividing Range with Eucalyptus sieberi becoming less frequent in the canopy as the environment becomes drier.

Dense clusters of Poa grass also characterise the understorey of two other woodlands occurring within the Special Area. These communities, Tablelands Black Sally Woodland (MU44) and Tablelands Snow


Gum Woodland (MU45) are restricted to small patches within the Special Area however both are more extensively distributed across the Tablelands region. Both communities are floristically similar although frost hollows, bogs and swamp edges are more closely associated with MU44.

4.1.15 Montane Sheltered Forests

Sheltered Forests follow similar trends to those of the exposed forests. Montane Gully Brown Barrel Forest (MU7) spans a number of substrates, occurring in sheltered locations above 750 metres in elevation. This forest is the primary moist forest within the cool environments of the Special Area. It forms a dominant canopy of Eucalyptus fastigata, with abundant soft ferns in the understorey, often with scattered Coprosma quadrifida, Doryphora sassafras and sometimes treeferns Cyathea australis. The canopy can be shared with other species such a Eucalyptus dalrympleana subsp. dalrympleana, E. viminalis and E. cypellocarpa amongst others. Extremely sheltered forms may merge with MU2 Montane Cool-Warm Temperate Rainforest, where Doryphora sassafras is the abundant understorey species. Murruin Creek, Kanangra Gorge and Western Bindook Highlands are typical locations.

Montane Sheltered Narrow-leaved Peppermint Forest (MU20) extends from the Montane regions of the Special Area across the Oberon and Kanangra–Boyd Plateaux. It is found mostly across the Devonian Quartzites on slopes with moderate shelter. It is dominated by Eucalyptus radiata subsp. radiata with E. dalrympleana subsp. dalrympleana and sometimes E. fastigata. The understorey is characterised by scattered small trees Acacia falciformis and A. melanoxylon and a lower stratum of Pteridium esculentum, Viola hederacea, Stellaria pungens, Lomatia myricoides and Lomandra longifolia.

4.1.16 Vegetation Communities on Limestone

Wombeyan Limestone Scrub (Map Unit 65) occurs on the Limestone outcrops of the Wombeyan Caves. A similar scrub is found on a limestone outcrop in the Kowmung, although given the remoteness it has not yet been visited. It forms a scrub to a height of up to four metres with sparse scattered emergent trees. The community is characterised by a dominance of shrub species including Grevillea arenaria, Cassinia laevis and Acacia chalkeri. Tree species are sparse and infrequent but may include Eucalyptus bridgesiana or the occasional Brachychiton populneus subsp. populneus. The lower stratum is herbaceous with species such as Lomandra longifolia, Dichondra repens, Dianella revoluta var. revoluta, Plectranthus parvifolius and Elymus scaber var. scaber.

Limestone outcrops also feature components of Grey Myrtle Dry Rainforest (MU3) and Kowmung Dry Rainforest (MU4) on sheltered aspects. Stunted Ficus rubiginosa, Brachychiton populneus subsp. populneus and Backhousia myrtifolia are found growing from cracks in the Karsts (Steenbeeke, 1990). Church Creek and Colong Caves are examples of these scrubs.

4.1.17 Vegetation Communities on Granite

Granitic rocks are exposed at a number of locations throughout the Special Area. At lower elevations, these are found around the rim of Lake Burragorang. Granitic rocks erode to form a soil similar to those found within the Devonian Complex. As result these areas support vegetation that is similar in floristic composition and structure. Areas with deeper soil support a canopy of Eucalyptus tereticornis, E. melliodora and E. crebra with a distinctively grassy understorey. These have been included within Map Unit 52. Sheltered forests will include species common to Kowmung Sheltered Red Gum Forest (Map Unit 28). In very protected locations, rainforest develops and will feature either Grey Myrtle Dry Rainforest (MU3) or the more diverse Kowmung Dry Rainforest (MU4).

On the Moorara Range in the far north west of the Special Area, granitic rocks are again exposed. On the narrow, skeletal rock soils a dry shrubby woodland includes Eucalyptus sieberi, E. blaxlandii and E. cypellocarpa. These woodlands have been included within Map Unit 34. On slopes on the eastern and western fall a slightly taller forest occurs and is dominated by Eucalyptus punctata and E. ralla.

Small patches of unmapped granite are found on the Coxs River near Policemans Point and Basin Creek. These granites support a vegetation community that is structurally similar to Douglas Scarp Woodland although appears to support a different species assemblage (R. Lembit, pers. comm.). This has not mapped by this project although it has been provisionally identified as Cox’s Granite Woodland in Lembit (1989).


4.1.18 Vegetation Communities on Basalt Caps

Basalt soils are restricted to only a few isolated residual caps in the Warragamba Special Area. These occur at Mt. Wanganderry on the Southern Highlands, Mt. Shivering on the Murruin Range and Mt. Colong and Yerranderie Peak on the Bindook Highlands.

Mt. Wanganderry is the lowest of the basalt caps, reaching a height of around 800 metres. Although most of Mt. Wanganderry has been cleared of its native vegetation cover, remnant patches of forest cover signify a tall open forest with a herbaceous and grassy understorey. Eucalyptus tereticornis, E. blaxlandii, E. bosistoana and E. viminalis persist as the most frequent canopy species among the remnants and more commonly as isolated paddock trees. This community has been described as Wanganderry Tall Open Forest (MU19).

Mt. Shivering is several hundred metres higher in elevation and experiences a cool to cold climate. The basalt cap retains an impressively tall tree canopy that includes Eucalyptus fastigata on the northern and western side on a basalt scree and E. viminalis on the southern aspect. In more exposed sites understorey species such as Poa sieberiana var. sieberiana, Stellaria pungens, Lomandra longifolia and Pteridium esculentum prevail whereas Coprosma quadrifida and Polystichum australiense are prominent in areas of greater shelter. These forests are typical of the species composition found in sheltered gullies on Devonian and Silurian metasediments that occur throughout the Murruin Range. As a result the vegetation occurring on Mt. Shivering has been included within the Montane Gully Brown Barrel Forest (MU7) classification. Mt. Colong supports similar forest although clearing has modified some of the stand.

4.1.19 Mallee, Heath and Scrub Communities

Mallee and Heath communities are found throughout the Special Area on infertile skeletal soils and exposed rock plates. Changes in floristic composition arise in response to gradual changes in elevation or more abruptly where substrates differ. Rock Plate Heath-Mallee (MU61) occurs on exposed rock plates, outcrops and wind-buffed plateau edges across the Hawkesbury and Narrabeen Sandstones at lower elevations (less than 800 metres), from Nattai Tableland to the western edge of Kings Tableland. Banksia ericifolia subsp. ericifolia, Leptospermum trinervium and Allocasuarina nana form a dense heath with scattered mallee Eucalypts. Mallees are particularly diverse across these lower altitudes and include Eucalyptus stricta, E. apiculata, E. multicaulis, E. ligustrina, E. burgessiana and E. obstans. The latter two species are most prominent on the Nattai Tableland.

Above these elevations the heath communities grade into Montane Heath-Mallee (MU62). While more prominent on residual Permian Sandstones such as those found on Ti Willa Plateau, it also occurs on Narrabeen Sandstone along the Narrow Neck Peninsula. Eucalyptus stricta remains prominent in the higher elevations along with occasional E. moorei, with other mallees found at the lower elevations no longer present. The dominant shrub stratum is not dissimilar between the two with Allocasuarina nana, Isopogon anemonifolius, Leptospermum trinervium and Banksia ericifolia subsp. ericifolia commonly observed. The difference between them is found in the lower shrub layer where species such as Darwinia taxifolia subsp. taxifolia, Boronia anemonifolia and Epacris reclinata are restricted to the higher elevations.

Older rocks associated with the Devonian series also produce exposed rock plates that support levels of quartzite and sand in the soil. The Loombah Plateau on the Murruin Range features a massive rock plate that is exposed with only a thin layer of soil lying on the surface. At around 1000 metres in elevation the climate is cool, and rainfall is moderately high. A dense heath layer supporting Banksia marginata, Hakea dactyloides, Hibbertia serpyllifolia and Kunzea cambagei grows amongst a low cover of Eucalyptus stricta. A very open tree cover is spread above this layer. Stunted Eucalyptus dalrympleana subsp. dalrympleana and E. pauciflora are the common tree species. This community has been mapped as Loombah Heath-Mallee (MU63).

Fringed Myrtle Heath (MU65) also occurs on Devonian Sediments however at much lower elevations in the Cedar Valley. It is dominated mostly by Micromyrtus ciliata with Mirbelia rubifolia and Hakea sericea. Mallee and shrub species that are so dominant in the previous communities do not occur, giving it a completely different appearance. However, it occurs in small patches, not discernible using 1:25000 air photos.

Different again, though also on Devonian Sediments, is Kowmung Acacia Scrub (MU67). The blue foliage of Acacia clunies-rossiae stands out from the surrounding vegetation, particularly when observed from high vantage points such as Mount Armour, above the Church Creek Caves. These stands may


include other wattles such as Acacia binervia as well as shrubs such as Olearia viscidula, Bursaria spinosa, and Cassinia longifolia. Some of these areas may represent areas that have previously been disturbed during either mining or grazing in the Kowmung River.

Limestone outcrops in small disjunct locations in the south west of the Special Area. At Wombeyan Caves an endemic wattle Acacia chalkeri, is restricted to the limestone area. This community has been mapped as Wombeyan Limestone Scrub (MU66) and has been described under section 4.1.16.

4.1.20 Swamp Communities

Vegetation is found growing in or adjoining permanently or periodically waterlogged soils that form swamps. The vegetation that grows in these areas form a complex of structural forms such as wet heaths, sedgelands, bogs, and open woodlands. The variation in these communities relates to a number of factors, namely prevalence of water, soil type, elevation and disturbance history that includes fire and grazing (Keith and Benson, 1988; Keith and Myerscough, 1993; Kodela et al., 1996).

The gently undulating country of Bindook Highlands (above 700 metres) supports a diverse complex of swamp assemblages along the Tomat Swamps, Bent Hook Swamp, Random Swamp and the extensive drainage line along Colong Creek. At the wettest gradient, Highlands Peat Swamp (MU68) develops on peaty anaerobic soils forming a sedgeland with abundant Lepyrodia anarthria and Baumea rubiginosa. Small areas of Sphagnum moss are found on soaks and drainage lines, although much is trampled by pigs, sheep and cattle. At the drier margins dense Tea-tree thickets form with Leptospermum obovatum, L. polygalifolium subsp. polygalifolium or L. continentale. With decreasing moisture the community grades into Highlands Swamp Gum-Tea-tree Heath-Woodland (MU69). Often Eucalyptus ovata is observed amongst moister soils with E. mannifera subsp. mannifera surrounding the drier fringes. A dense shrub layer of Tea-trees occupy the mid stratum. This form can be seen at Tomat Swamps. In the outer reaches of these drainage lines a drier form of this community develops into an open woodland of Eucalyptus dalrympleana subsp. dalrympleana or E. viminalis with an abundant cover of the rush Lomandra longifolia. Whilst these two forms may appear different structurally, they share many species that clearly link them to these drainage basins. Species such as Juncus continuus, Schoenus apogon, Lomandra longifolia and Leptospermum spp. are found in these differing structural forms. Further toward the northern end of Colong Swamp a form of these has also been observed with a Melaleuca linariifolia sub canopy.

Some areas of the Bindook Swamps form an open grassland, mapped as Bindook Highlands Grassland (MU77). It contains a dense cover of tussock grass (Poa labillardierei var. labillardierei) amongst species typical of swampy environments such as Carex gaudichaudiana. It is found near or adjoining drainage lines.

The extensive Triassic Hawkesbury and Narrabeen Sandstone Plateaux feature isolated patches of Upland or “Hanging” swamps. These are generally locally restricted and poorly drained headwater valleys which support mosaics of wet heath, sedgeland and thickets that contrast markedly with surrounding Eucalypt woodland or forest (Keith and Myerscough, 1993). Variation in structure and local floristic composition depends on water availability and fire history. The Kings and Lacys Tablelands and the Narrow Neck Peninsula support the largest areas with the Special Area.

On drainage lines and soaks Upland Swamp: Tea-tree Thicket (MU72) forms where constant waterlogging results in the development of deep peaty soils (Keith and Myerscough, 1993). The moisture brings about a dense sedge layer with Empodisma minus, Baumea nuda, Leptocarpus tenax, Gahnia sieberiana and Lepyrodia spp. A dense cover of coral ferns (Gleichenia dicarpa) is common. Above a low Tea-tree Thicket forms with Leptospermum juniperinum, L. polygalifolium and Baeckea linifolia. Scattered small trees of Melaleuca linariifolia and Callistemon citrinus can also occur. Fire may kill or reduce the density of the Leptospermum and Melaleuca species (Keith and Myerscough, 1993).

With a slight decrease in soil moisture Upland Swamps: Cyperoid Heath (MU71) forms a similar structure with a dense sedge layer and scattered Tea-trees. However, the sedge stratum is largely dominated by species from the Cyperaceae family, Gymnoschoenus sphaerocephalus and Lepidosperma limicola, with the former by far the most abundant. Others sedges such as Empodisma minus occur but are less dominant. Cyperoid heath is found on relatively deep, organic wet sands (Keith and Myerscough, 1993).

Adjoining the wet heath-sedgeland communities found on both the Narrow Neck Plateau and Bindook Highlands are unusual woodlands that mark the ecotone between the sandstone woodlands and the swamps. This community has been described as Sandstone Brittle Gum Swamp Woodland (MU72) and


is characterised by an open cover of Eucalyptus mannifera subsp. gullickii. The understorey is comprised of both sedgeland and sandstone heath species.

High elevations associated with Devonian and Ordovician Metasediments support a different sedgeland community to those found on either the sandstone plateaux or the alluvium of the Bindook Highlands. Montane Sedgeland-Heath (MU70) is typified by a diversity of species from Restionaceae family, including Empodisma minus, Baumea rubiginosa and Lepyrodia anarthria, along with Xyris operculata, Epacris microphylla and Mitrasacme serpyllifolia. Shrubs including Leptospermum continentale and L. grandifolium are scattered throughout. The Button Grass, Gymnoschoenus sphaerocephalus, which is abundant on the hanging swamps of Triassic sandstone, is absent from sites near the Loombah Plateau and Dex Creek on Mt. Cloudmaker.

4.2 THREATENED SPECIES AND ENDANGERED ECOLOGICAL COMMUNITIES

4.2.1 Endangered Ecological Communities

The NSW Scientific Committee have listed a number of Endangered Ecological Communities (EEC’s) under the Threatened Species Conservation Act, 1995 that are relevant to the vegetation that is found in the Warragamba Special Area. These Endangered Ecological Communities are:

White Box Yellow Box Blakely’s Red Gum Woodland;

Cumberland Plain Woodland;

Shale/Sandstone Transition Forest;

Sydney Coastal River-Flat Forest; and

Southern Highlands Shale Woodlands.

The determination that accompanies the listing of each of these communities under the TSC Act, 1995, provides information on habitat and typical species. In addition, example locations are provided as reference points. These were used to relate the vegetation communities defined in this report to potential Endangered Ecological Communities. Table 4.1 highlights the relationships between the two. Several of EEC determinations describe broad vegetation communities that have been divided into their component parts in this report. The distribution of all Endangered Ecological Communities located within the Special Area are shown in Map 14.

There are two additional communities that are clearly related to existing Endangered Ecological Communities, however are legally precluded from inclusion as they lie outside the nominated Local Government Areas. Burragorang River Flat Forest (MU23) and Oakdale Alluvial Rough-barked Apple (MU38) are closely related to the Sydney Coastal River-Flat Forest Endangered Ecological Community. Thirteen species listed in the Determination for this EEC are positive diagnostic species for both Map Units 23 and 38. An additional 22 species suggest that at least 60 percent of species included in the Determination are found within these two communities.

4.2.2 Threatened Species and Rare or Threatened Plants

A considerable number of threatened species have been recorded within the Warragamba Special Area. This includes 24 species listed on the Schedules of the Threatened Species Conservation Act (1995) and 60 listed by Briggs and Leigh (1995) as Rare or Threatened Plants (RoTAPs). These are listed in Table 4.2. Species of significance within the Special Area include Acacia clunies-rossiae, Bossiaea oligosperma, Grevillea kedumbensis, Hakea dohertyi and Rupicola sprengelioides which have distributions restricted to the Special Area, and A. chalkeri, Eucalyptus benthamii and Lissanthe sapida that have the significant proportion of their population within the Special Area. These species require particular management attention as their persistence in nature is dependent upon their protection within the Special Area.

Records of 38 species were made at systematic sites undertaken as part of this study, with a number of species including Acacia clunies-rossiae, Eucalyptus hypostomatica, Gonocarpus longifolius, Lissanthe sapida, Ozothamnus adnatus, Parahebe lithophila and Senecio macranthus being recorded at a number of sites. The survey records of the endangered species Gyrostemon thesioides and Pterostylis saxicola are of particular significance as they are the first records in New South Wales from outside of western Sydney. Both species were confirmed from specimens supplied to Botanic Gardens.

Table 4.2 lists the threatened species recorded within Warragamba Special Area. It includes species that are listed under the Threatened Species Conservation (TSC) Act (1995) and/or Rare or Threatened Australian Plants (RoTAP) (Briggs and Leigh, 1995). Existing records are from the Atlas of NSW Wildlife, NSW Herbarium, and other surveys within the Special Area, while survey records are those collected by NPWS when undertaking the current study. Codes are as follows: V Vulnerable, E1 Endangered (TSC, 1995): 2 Distribution of less than 100 kilometres, 3 Distribution greater than 100km, E Endangered, K Poorly Known, R Rare, V Vulnerable, C Within Conservation Reserve, a Adequately Reserved (>1000 plants), i Inadequately Reserved (<1000 plants), - Reserve level unknown, t Total Population within Conservation Reserve. Map 15 shows the locations of significant plant species within the Special Area.

4.3 REGIONALLY SIGNIFICANT VEGETATION COMMUNITIES

Several vegetation communities emerge as poorly conserved in the current reserve system within the Sydney Basin and Southern Highlands Bioregions. Others are communities that are not known to occur beyond the Special Area and are important because they are endemic to the area. Two communities are considered of conservation concern given the impact of clearing on the original distribution. The list of regionally significant vegetation is presented in Table 4.3. The distribution of these communities is presented in Map 14.

TABLE 4:3: REGIONALLY SIGNICANT VEGETATION COMMUNITIES IN THE WARRAGAMBA SPECIAL AREA

Regionally Significant Vegetation Community

Reason

Kowmung Dry Rainforest Not extensive in Bioregion, with largest areas found within protected gorges in the Kowmung and Kanangra Valleys.

Highlands Basalt Acacia Scrub

Any vegetation occurring on Basalt soils of the Southern Highlands has largely been removed or heavily modified. Moist scrubs such as these are aligned to those found on the Robertson Plateau, which supports Robertson Rainforest, an Endangered Ecological Community. While this community is less diverse than those described within the determination for this EEC, it is highly likely that this community suffers from similar threats.

Montane Cool-Warm Temperate Rainforest

A widely distributed community although generally restricted to narrow gully lines in cool to cold climates. Reservation status is moderate.

Highlands Gorge River Peppermint Forest

Restricted to sheltered slopes and gully lines found within the Wingecarribee Catchment. Reservation status is poor.

Bindook Highlands Open Forest

Mostly protected within the Blue Mountains National Park. However, the community is not described elsewhere, although future investigation may identify that this community forms part of the sheltered forest found in the Shoalhaven Valley.

Yerranderie White-topped Box Forest

Mostly protected within the Blue Mountains National Park. However, the community is not described elsewhere, although future investigation may identify that this community forms part of the sheltered forest found in the Shoalhaven Valley.

Burragorang River Flat Forest

Forms part of a broad vegetation complex that once occurred on sandy alluviums of the Hawkesbury Nepean River systems. Extensively cleared in western Sydney and large areas now drowned by Lake Burragorang. Includes the vulnerable species Eucalyptus benthamii.

Oakdale Alluvial Rough-barked Apple Forest

Forms part of broad vegetation complex that once occurred on sandy alluviums of the Hawkesbury Nepean River systems. Extensively cleared in Western Sydney.

Highlands Sandstone Dry Shrub Forest

Large areas persist across sandstones of the southern highlands although few areas are within NPWS estate (NPWS, 2000a).

Permian Footslopes Grassy Grey Box Forest

Community restricted to the Burragorang and Nattai Valleys, located on fine grained sediments associated with the Shoalhaven Group. Mostly protected within the Special Area although areas drowned by Lake Burragorang.


Regionally Significant Vegetation Community

Reason

Tablelands River Oak Forest Widespread community that has been cleared extensively in the past (NPWS, 2000a) and remaining areas often heavily modified by grazing activities. Most remaining areas occur on private lands.

Tablelands Black Sally Woodland

Extensively cleared (NPWS, 2000a) with few areas protected in formal reserves.

Tablelands Snow Gum Woodland

Extensively cleared (NPWS, 2000a) with few areas protected in formal reserves.

Dry Alluvial Paperbark Woodland

Restricted to gentle slopes on Permian soils. Unlikely to be extensively cleared given narrow habitat, although it is not described from outside the Special Area.

Douglas Scarp Woodland Unusual community that marks the transition into the Shoalhaven Group geology (Fisher and Ryan, 1995) or Devonian material (pers. obs.). Small total area and not known from outside of the Special Area.

Devonian Red Gum-Yellow Box Woodland

Extensively cleared and modified in the Wollondilly Valley. Much of the remaining vegetation is disturbed and fragmented.

Highlands Transitional Shale Woodland

Poorly described community outside of the Special Area, although likely to suffer from similar rates of clearing to similar transition forests found on the fringe of the Cumberland Plain.

Loombah Heath Mallee Endemic to the Southern Blue Mountains with only 482 hectares currently known (NPWS 2000a). 20 percent occurs within the Special Area. Includes endemic species Kunzea cambagei.

Wombeyan Limestone Scrub Endemic to the Limestone found at Wombeyan Caves. Includes endemic species Acacia chalkeri.

Kowmung Acacia Scrub Endemic to the Kowmung Valley. Includes vulnerable species Acacia clunies-rossiae.

Highlands Peat Swamp Once likely to be extensively distributed across drainage lines, bogs and soaks of the Southern Highlands and Tablelands. Poorly represented in the current reserve system. Habitat overlaps with preferred agricultural lands. Many areas modified and drained.

Highlands Swamp Gum-Tea-tree Heath Woodland

Once likely to be extensively distributed across drainage lines, bogs and soaks of the Southern Highlands and Tablelands. Poorly represented in the current reserve system. Habitat overlaps with preferred agricultural lands. Many areas modified and drained.

Thirlmere Sand Swamp Woodland

Forms part of chain of unusual sand swamps restricted to the Sydney Basin Bioregion. Highly restricted distribution.

Lepironia Freshwater Wetland

Southern limit of Lepironia articulata. Site included in the Australian Directory of Significant Wetlands (ANCA, 1996).

4.4 WORLD HERITAGE VALUES: EUCALYPT DIVERSITY

Over 173000 hectares (around 66 percent) of the Warragamba Special Area has been declared part of the Blue Mountains World Heritage Area. Map 7 indicates that within the Special Area, Nattai, Blue Mountains, Kanangra-Boyd and Thirlmere Lakes National Parks are covered by the declaration. The listing of the Blue Mountains as a World Heritage Area is underpinned by “the outstanding significance of eucalypt dominated vegetation, of which it represents the best single example through its outstanding richness of species in a protected area with large components of wilderness” (NPWS, 1998).

The diversity of Eucalypt species (Eucalyptus, Angophora and Corymbia) found within the Warragamba Special Area is one of the highest found in Australia based on data presented in NPWS (1998). Areas supporting the highest numbers os Eucalypts lie between 66 and 74 species, and are restricted to a few localities along Eastern Australia and south-west Western Australia. The high number of eucalypt species found within the Special Area is also restrained to a relatively small land area when compared to

the adjoining Wollemi National Park and to entire regions such as the South East Forests near Eden (Table 4.4).

Over 75 percent of the Eucalypt species that are included in the World Heritage Nomination report (NPWS, 1998) are found within the Special Area. In addition, there are six Eucalypt species that occur within the World Heritage Area, that are not included within the nomination. These are Eucalyptus ralla, Eucalyptus obstans, Eucalyptus benthamii, Eucalyptus muelleriana, Eucalyptus mannifera subsp. gullickii and Eucalyptus oblonga.

Within the Special Area, the Bindook Highlands represents an area of outstanding Eucalypt diversity. Twenty eight Eucalypt species (Table 4.5) have been recorded on the Bindook Highlands, an area that encompasses around 10000 hectares. It is characterised by elevations between 700 and 900 metres on gentle sloping terrain underlain by moderately fertile clay loams derived from porphyritic rocks. Residual Permian sandstone and conglomerate outcrops are present in the north eastern area of the highlands. The diversity is also enhanced by a number of alluvial soils that support swampy woodlands and peat bogs.

The Bindook Highlands marks an altitudinal transition for many Eucalypt species. The eastern area of these highlands are characterised by species whose habitat preferences are marked by warmer coastal climates while the higher and cooler southern and western areas comprise montane and tableland species.

Grey Gum (Eucalyptus punctata) is the most frequently recorded Eucalypt species within the Special Area and is almost three times more common than any other species. It occurs on every soil type found within the Special Area except Basalt and Limestone. Its elevation range extends from the coastal plain and hinterland at less than 100 metres to transitional montane environments where it has been recorded at more than 800 metres. Its structural form can vary from stunted and gnarled specimens found on exposed rocky sandstone outcrops to a towering straight tree up to 35 metres in height in sheltered sandstone gullies.


The predominant combinations of dominant Eucalypt species revolve around Grey Gum (Eucalyptus punctata) and Stringybarks (E. agglomerata, E. eugenioides, E. globoidea, E. sparsifolia, E. blaxlandii and E. ralla). Eucalyptus agglomerata and E. eugenioides are the most frequently occurring stringybark species. Other commonly occurring species are more restricted to particular soil types. These include Eucalyptus piperita, E. sieberi and E. tereticornis, with the former species abundant on highly siliceous soils, while the latter preferring clay loams of alluviums, drainage lines and richer porphyry soils.

4.5 FIELD IDENTIFICATION OF VEGETATION COMMUNITIES

Each Vegetation Community Profile includes a description of key identifying features and a list of diagnostic species. The diagnostic species list is presented to guide users in the process of differentiating communities from one another or confirming the type of vegetation at a site of interest. The list of diagnostic species has been drawn from site data collected in this project. They do not represent the total list present at any given location or within any given community. The first thing to note is the number of replicates that have been used to describe the community. Vegetation communities that are described using fewer site numbers are likely to have less accuracy in the diagnostic species list than those with a high numbers of replicates.

The Fidelity Class column lists up to three types of species: positive, negative and constant. A fourth type called ‘uninformative’ is not presented in this list but may be present in the Floristic Summary list in the profile if it is a conspicuous species or a canopy species. Table 4.6 provides an example from which to discuss the interpretation of the diagnostic species list.

Group Score and Frequency: These refer to median cover abundance and the frequency and at which these species have occurred in the sites that have been used to define this community. Using the table below it can be seen that Croton verreauxii occurred in 82 percent of sites that describe MU X. Of these sites, the median cover abundance score was 3 (5-20 percent).

Non Group Score and Frequency: These provide a comparative cover abundance and frequency of occurrence for this species across all other sites (communities). In this example, Croton verreauxii has occurred in 23 percent of all other sites at a cover abundance of 3.

Positive species are those that are recorded more frequently and at higher abundances within a given Vegetation Community compared to all other communities in the Study Area. They may also be species that are unique to that community, that is, they were not found amongst sites that defined any other community. In this example (Table 4.6) it is seen that Cassine australis var. australis occurs at 100 percent of the sites within this community at a mean cover abundance of 4, while it occurred in only 35 percent of all other sites at a lower mean cover abundance. It is also noted that Ficus superba var. henneana is unique to this community, and has not been recorded in any other sites (Non-Group Frequency equals 0).

Cassine australis var. australis 4 1.00 3 0.35 positive

Cayratia clematidea 2 0.55 1 0.24 positive

Croton verreauxii 3 0.82 3 0.23 positive

Diospyros australis 4 0.91 1 0.40 positive

Diospyros pentamera 1 0.09 0 0.00 positive

Doodia aspera 3 0.55 3 0.46 positive

Ficus superba var. henneana 5 0.09 0 0.00 positive

Pittosporum multiflorum 3 0.91 2 0.34 positive

Planchonella australis 4 0.73 4 0.10 positive

Streblus brunonianus 5 1.00 1 0.22 positive

Eustrephus latifolius 1 0.91 2 0.65 negative

Livistona australis 0 0.00 2 0.52 negative

Pittosporum undulatum 1 0.82 3 0.62 negative

Geitonoplesium cymosum 2 0.91 2 0.61 constant

Pandorea pandorana subsp. pandorana 2 1.00 2 0.61 constant


Negative species are the inverse in that they are recorded less frequently and at lower abundance in the given community relative to all others. It may also be that the species has never been recorded within the sites that describe the given community. In this example it is noted that Livistona australis has not been recorded at all in this community (Group Frequency score of 0), and that it occurs in 52 percent of sites outside this community. Eustrephus latifolius has also been recorded as a negative diagnostic species even though it has occurred in 91 percent of the sites within the community, though at a lower cover abundance than at other sites. The Non Group scores indicate that generally this species occurs with a higher abundance elsewhere than recorded within this group so it is not an indicator species for this community.

Constant species are those that occur at relatively consistent frequencies and abundance across all communities and are not useful in differentiating vegetation communities but are useful in describing them. In this example it can be seen that Pandorea pandorana subsp. pandorana has occurred in 100 percent of sites within the community, at a mean cover abundance of 2. This does not help to differentiate this community as the species was recorded in 61 percent of all other sites also with a mean cover abundance of 2.

Diagnostic species are a guide only. They can be misleading in that species that appear as unique to or absent from a community may result from insufficient sampling. However, with communities that have been sampled by a larger number of replicates, diagnostic species can be used to identify particular communities from one another, only if identical field survey methods are employed. Reliability of identification will increase with the greater number of positive diagnostic species identified at a site. Confidence can also be improved with an understanding of the habitat and structural characteristics of the vegetation community of interest.

4.6 MAP ACCURACY

4.6.1 Sources of Error

The delineation of vegetation community boundaries has relied on the combination of field site data, modelled outputs and the alignment of API feature codes and site data. Each of these data sets contains inherent spatial and attribution errors. As a result the derived vegetation map is not 100 percent accurate and users should be aware of the limitations.

The spatial or positional accuracy has already been described. Nevertheless, it is important to reiterate that the distortion arising from the steep and rugged terrain found along the sandstone plateau and the Kowmung and Coxs Gorges is significant. This has generated spatial discrepancies of up to 40 metres between aerial photo layer and 1:25000 topographic maps.

Errors may also arise from misinterpretations of canopy patterns or interpretation difficulty. The latter can be assessed using the reliability code present in the digital coverage. Coding error may also arise during the data transfer process. The reliability of the air photo interpretation is one method to review Map Accuracy. These reliability measures are presented in Map 16. Another method is to use the distribution and sampling intensity of field data presented in Map 10.

The derived vegetation community map relied on spatial data layers that are compiled at smaller scales. The Geology and Soil Landscape layers are available at 1:100000 and 1:250000 scale and may themselves contain spatial and attribution errors. This project has sought to overcome these problems by placing greater emphasis on larger scale API work than on data derived from these smaller scaled data sets.

Other studies Keith and Bedward (1999) and NPWS (2000c) have attempted to quantify the accuracy of derived vegetation mapping for broad regions. Using the same review process both studies achieved similar levels of accuracy ranging from 70 percent accuracy within 100 metres of a known point to 80 percent within 250 metres. No attempt has been made to quantify map accuracy for this project.

Finally, vegetation community boundaries rarely change abruptly. The transition between one community and another tends to be gradual and as such a line used to separate the two can be misleading. However, despite these shortcomings qualitative field review of the mapped outputs indicate that the delineation of vegetation community boundaries is accurate at scales of 1:25000 or larger.

4.6.2 Common misapplications

The most common problem is the use of mapping products at a scale for which it has not been designed. GIS systems make it easy for users to zoom into a small area and simply overlay the vegetation map on


the area of interest. Mapping linework and attribution does not hold the same accuracy at a focused area at say 1:4000 scale as it does at 1:25000 scale.

The attribution of the mapping work varies in accuracy across the Study Area. This arises from access constraints, sampling intensity and so on. Users should at least review the API confidence score and proximity of field sampling sites to judge accuracy of vegetation mapping at any given point.

4.7 USING THE MAP AND REPORT

4.7.1 Fire Management

The information developed from this project now provides an opportunity for field data and vegetation mapping to be applied to the development of fire management plans for the Special Area.

Vegetation Community Profiles provide an estimate of vegetation structure (height), cover and vegetation strata. Importantly the characteristics of the vegetation associated with each community are readily accessible. Broad Fuel Hazard Classes associated with each vegetation type can be assessed using the floristic information contained within the profiles to complete a spatial coverage for the Special Area. These broad hazard classes may then be refined using site based assessments such as those promoted by McCarthy et al. (1999) using bark hazard, elevated fuel hazard and surface fine fuel hazard.

Planning for Hazard Reduction Burns can utilise the array of information captured from the Aerial Photograph Interpretation. This can include vegetation community boundaries, presence of rock outcrops, proportion of rock within each site, understorey characteristics and tree types present. Prominent landscape features such as rainforests and heaths are easily recognised.

Each field sample site supports at least one digital photograph. These photographs can guide users as to the nature of the vegetation in the area of interest.

4.7.2 Conservation Assessment

Information provided in this report now allows land managers to understand the conservation significance of different types of vegetation present within the Special Area. Mapping now delineates the extent of Endangered Ecological Communities at a scale of 1:25000, the presence of endangered plant species found within each vegetation community and regional reservation status. These are relevant for the preparation of Reviews of Environmental Factors (REFs).

The data may now also be used to help guide land acquisitions within the Special Area by developing an understanding of vegetation condition, type and conservation status.

4.7.3 Vegetation Disturbance Assessment

Information is now available that maps the indicators of disturbance to native vegetation in the Special Area. Data has been recorded to indicate the intensity of these disturbances to native vegetation cover. These data can be used to guide land use management practices, by highlighting areas that may require further investigation. This data may be queried to understand dominant disturbance types such as weed infestations, regrowth forests, transmission lines, roads and trails etc. Remnant patches of vegetation have been mapped to areas greater than one hectare in size.

Disturbance indicators as mapped provide one indicator of where vegetation condition may be affected. Conclusions as to the condition of vegetation require close assessment of the patch of vegetation in question, with a detailed inventory of native species present and a review of the structural integrity of the vegetation best achieved through site inspections.

4.8 FUTURE SURVEY WORK The Warragamba Special Area has been comprehensively surveyed using systematic methods. There are, however, a number of vegetation patterns discerned from aerial photographs that have not been sampled using these methods. Map 17 highlights API feature codes for which future field investigations may be warranted. Many of these areas remain in inaccessible country or on privately owned lands. A number of areas of interest around Warragamba Dam were not sampled during the project as a result of the severe wildfires in 2001/2002.

APPENDIX B: SITES BY STRATA ANALYSIS Following is an analysis of the sampling efficiency of the survey sites collected for this project. Sites where collected based on a stratification of the whole Special Area. This stratification was based on an amalgamation of landscapes through the combination of broad classifications of geology, aspect, elevation and rainfall. These classes are shown below in the Key to Strata Codes Table, and are combined in the “Strata Code” field of the sites by strata table. Note however that the first 13 strata where not derived using this system, rather where sections of the landscape specifically highlighted for investigation. Furthermore, many of the strata are of small size or limited relevance to vegetation characteristics and where not targeted during field survey. These strata are highlighted in the “Strata Not Targeted” field of the sites by strata table.
