Understory is lush and wet. Canopy trees are fire-tolerant, but the understory is fire-intolerant. Example: Australasian Wet Sclerophyll Forest. Dry Sclerophyll Forest: Tall, straight-trunked canopy trees that form a canopy where the tree branches can touch each other but are too widely spaced to form a closed canopy. Understory is grass- and.

Wet sclerophyll forests grow up to 60m tall in moist cloudy uplands on deep well-drained soils with up to 2500m rainfall each year. They are the most developed of all eucalyptus forests and woodlands.

Sclerophyll Forests & Woodlands. The presence of Acacia species in woodlands or forests is generally indicative of some form of limiting ecological factor. The majority of occurrences are found on, and to the east of the coastal escarpment, typically in areas exposed to persistent trade winds and on areas of shallow soil.

Wet-sclerophyll forests are unique ecosystems that can transition to dry-sclerophyll forests or to rainforests. Understanding of the dynamics of these forests for conservation is limited. We evaluated the long-term succession of wet-sclerophyll forest on World Heritage listed K'gari (Fraser Island)—the world's largest sand island.

Wet sclerophyll forest in Queensland supports many different types of native plants and animals—including at least 25 threatened or priority species—so restoring wet sclerophyll forest has great potential for conserving wildlife. Some threatened native species that occur in wet sclerophyll forest include the: powerful owl ( Ninox strenua)

Wet sclerophyll forest is intimately associated with rainforest, and in many areas it is largely the effects of fire that allow wet sclerophyll forest to occupy sites that would otherwise be suitable for rainforest (Jackson 1968; Webb 1968). Other factors such as topography, drainage and substrate

Tall eucalypt forests (tall open forests or wet sclerophyll forests in previous classification schemes) are those that exceed 30 m in height with a projected foliage cover of 30-70%.

Walking around Germany's first forest cemetery . The south of Munich is home to the first forest cemetery in Germany and the largest in the city. The 170-hectare landscape is the perfect place for a walk among tall trees, narrow paths and open fields. And some of the gravestones even bear the names of famous people like the writer Michael Ende.

Wet sclerophyll forest is the tallest forest type in Australia. Wet sclerophyll forest in Queensland is composed of very tall eucalypts and their relatives, and an understory of either rainforest plants, or grasses with a sparse shrub layer.

The wet sclerophyll is in danger of being swallowed up by its neighbour. In just 50 years, approximately half of this limited forest type has been invaded by rainforest.

Fuels were measured in a chrono-sequence of 141 sites in Mountain Ash ( Eucalyptus regnans )-dominated wet sclerophyll forest in southeastern Australia, a particularly contentious forest system. Wildfires are an important part of the lifecycle of these forests, but too frequent fire can threaten post-fire regeneration.

Wet sclerophyll forest—a step towards rainforest Wet sclerophyll forest is often found growing near rainforest. In many areas, it is only the effect of past fires that prevents rainforest from occupying a site that is currently covered by wet sclerophyll forest.
