Project summary:

A simplified vegetation map of the Warra Long-Term Ecological Research site has been prepared, together with detailed descriptions of the plant associations indicated by fine-scaled vegetation mapping and field surveys of the area.

The region’s vegetation ranges from alpine and lowland heaths and sedgelands to subalpine woodlands and lowland forests, including rainforest, wet forest and dry forest types.

The most common vegetation in the area is Eucalyptus obliqua wet forest and mixed forest. A preliminary plant census has also been prepared and includes 261 vascular taxa.
