SCHEDULE 1
Drooping sheoak grassy woodland on calcrete of the Eyre Yorke Block Bioregion
The Drooping sheoak grassy woodland on calcrete of the Eyre Yorke Block Bioregion ecological community is the assemblage of native plants, animals and other organisms that comprise a type of grassy woodland associated with shallow soils over calcrete.
The ecological community occurs in South Australia, within the Eyre Yorke Block bioregion. Known occurrences are on the western Eyre Peninsula and the southern Yorke Peninsula. The woodland is typically distributed on low relief undulating hilly plains, local rises and occasional steep-sided hills with soils ranging from low to moderately fertile calcareous loam to Aeolian sandy loam and calcrete pans at various depths.
The vegetation structure varies from a low to mid height open woodland to open forest. The canopy is dominated by Allocasuarina verticillata (drooping sheoak). Other species that may occur in the overstorey include Callitris gracilis (southern cypress-pine), Eucalyptus diversifolia (coastal white mallee), E. porosa (mallee box), Melaleuca lanceolata (dryland tea tree) and Pittosporum angustifolium (native apricot).
