EVC 53 Swamp Scrub

Picture
Illustrated by Kate McGuire, Davesia latifolia
Closed scrub to 8 m tall at low elevations on alluvial deposits along streams or on poorly drained sites with higher nutrient availability. The EVC is dominated by Swamp Paperbark Melaleuca ericifolia (or sometimes Woolly Tea-tree Leptospermum lanigerum) which often forms a dense thicket, out-competing other species. Occasional emergent eucalypts may be present. Where light penetrates to ground level, a moss/lichen/liverwort or herbaceous ground cover is often present.  Dry variants have a grassy/herbaceous ground layer.
Please note: % Cover refers to the foliage cover provided by the collective group of plants at each level and minimum number of species indicates the ideal minimum number for species diversity and a resilient ecosystem to establish.
