13 Eucalyptus baxteri (Brown stringybark) Association Dune crests and upper slopes E.baxteri occupies large areas of these Reserves on the deeper normal podsol sands and may occur as pure or mixed stands. Acacia mearnsii is usually present over shrub and ground flora containing Leptospermum myrsinoides, Xanthorrhoea caespitosa, Pteridium esculentum, Acacia myrtifolia, Epacris impressa, Astroloma conostephoides, Leucopogon ericoides, Leucopogon virgatus, Hibbertia sericea var. sericea and Styphelia adscendens. Lower slopes and flats The understorey tends to be more diverse on the flats where bracken is less dominant. E.viminalis ssp. cygnetensis may be present with Acacia melanoxylon and A.mearnsii over shrub and ground flora containing Banksia marginata, L.myrsinoides, X.caespitosa, Calytrix tetragona, L.ericoides, P.esculentum, A.conostephioides, Amperea xiphoclada, H.sericea and Caustis pentandra. Eucalyptus fasciculosa (Pink gum) Association Terra rossa soils on calcarenite dunes E.fasciculosa occupies these elevated sites with E.leucoxylon, E.viminalis ssp. cygnetensis and A.mearnsii over a more open shrub and ground storey containing Bursaria spinosa, Dodonaea viscosa ssp. spatulata, Goodia lotifolia var. lotifolia, A.conostephioides, Astroloma humifusum, Dianella spp. Thomasia petalocalyx, H.sericea, Acrotriche serrulata, Clematis microphylla and Danthonia spp. Sand flats The understorey changes with increased water availability, A.mearnsii may be present over B.marginata, Leptospermum continentale, X.caespitosa, C.tetragona, Hakea rugosa, L.ericoides, A.conostephioides, A.humifusum, H.sericea and Lepidosperma spp. Eucalyptus viminalis ssp. cygnetensis (Manna gum) Association The more fertile shallow sands support relatively small areas of this species over shrub and ground flora containing B.marginata, L.continentale, Allocasuarina paludosa, C.tetragona, X.caespitosa, A.conostephioides, Isopogon ceratophyllus, L.ericoides, Hibbertia porstrata, H.sericea and Hypolaena fastigiata. Eucalyptus ovata (Swamp gum) Association E.ovata is restricted generally to an area on a poorly drained meadow podsol which would normally be subject to winter and spring waterlogging. The shrub and ground flora contains B.marginata, Melaleuca brevifolia, L.continentale, Gahnia trifida, X.caespitosa, Isolepis nodosa, Lepidosperma concavum, A.conostephioides, Cassytha glabella and Hydrocotyle spp. Final Plan – August 2001
Eucalyptus camaldulensis (River red gum) Association 14 E.camaldulensis is limited to winter swamp margins and wet sand flats subject to inundation in periods of normal rainfall. All of these sites are dry (September 1999) following years of below average rain fall and consequent lowered water-tables. E.viminalis and A.mearnsii can be present over shrub and ground flora containing B.marginata, L.continentale, A.conostephioides, I.nodosa, Dianella spp., Baumea juncea, L.concavum and Patersonia fragilis. A total of 252 native plant species have been recorded for the Comaum NFRs of which 53 have a conservation status of Uncommon or higher rating for the SE of South Australia (Table 1, Natural Resource Data). The Naracoorte- Lucindale Field Naturalists have recommended that Acacia longifolia be removed as an environmental weed not indigenous to SA and therefor exempt under the Native Vegetation Act 1991. 2.42 Fauna Surveys in 1985 detected species from most faunal groups. The surveys were limited in time and season and therefore not all species present would have been detected. Lists of species have been compiled from accumulated observations in the area and are included in the Natural Resource Data (Tables 2 – 5). Birds Bird species can be grouped according to their preferred habitat. The presence of species from many different groups reflects the diversity of habitat that these Reserves provide. Eighty-seven species have been recorded for these Reserves including three introduced species in surveys conducted by ForestrySA, (1985); and ongoing observations by ForestrySA staff. Species recorded in a Department for Environment and Heritage survey of Glenroy Conservation Park in 1997 have been included in the bird list because it is reasonable to assume that all species apart from those dependant on a water based environment would use the similar habitat available in these Native Forest Reserves which adjoin or are in close proximity to Glenroy CP. (Table 2, Natural Resource Data). The following species have a South Australian conservation status rating of Endangered, Vulnerable or Rare.
