            2.1.3     Vegetation Community 2 – Native hardwood plantation with regrowth understorey
            VC2 is present in a single unit within the central site extent and is characterised by a native hardwood
            plantation with regrowth understorey. The vegetation community exhibits an average canopy height
            range of 30m.
            The canopy was dominated by Eucalyptus cloeziana (Gympie messmate) planted in rows. The mid-
            storey and understorey is clearly subject to intermittent clearing. The mid-storey contained scattered
            Cinnamomum camphora (camphor laurel) and Acacia melanoxylon (blackwood) to approximately 2-
            5m height.
            The understorey showed evidence of previous slashing. Common species present included
            Pteridium esculentum (hard bracken fern), Bidens Pilosa (Cobbler’s pegs), and Desmodium
            uncinatum (silver leaf desmodium) and several exotic grass species as well as Imperata cylindrica
            (blady grass).
            Plate 4 depicts typical vegetation within VC2.
