Figure 1: A eucalypt-eremophila woodland community in good condition. There is good mix of shrubs among tree-based clumps, including palatable bird-dispersed berry-bearing plants. The interpatch understorey is not dominated solely by unpalatable eremophilas. The soil surface is intact with a sand sheet supporting perennial grasses and annual herbs. Erosion is restricted due to the presence of cryptogamic crusts and obstructed flow paths created by branches, leaf litter, grasses and herbage in favourable seasons. The site is a loamy plain in the Johnston land system.
