Kwiambal National Park Vegetation 2008 VIS_ID 4742

Kwiambal National Park vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2008 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. This was a revision of the 1998 mapping. The Kwiambal National Park (6,517 ha in area) is approximately 130 km north-west of Glen Innes and 30 km from Ashford. Kwiambal is placed within one of the largest areas of remnant woodlands on the north west slopes of NSW. The region is in the Northern Complex Province of the Nandewar Biogeographical Region and within the North Western Slopes Botanical District, both of which are poorly represented in the current reserve network.

The vegetation of Kwiambal National Park is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Eleven communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association). These Eleven communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Much of the reserve is characterised by Callitris glaucophylla, Eucalyptus dealbata and Eucalyptus melanophloia in the overstorey with a shrub layer of Melichrus urceolatus, Leptospermum brevipes, and Acacia leiocalyx and a herbaceous layer of Aristida ramosa, Cheilanthes sieberi, Cheilanthes distans, Commelina cyanea, Tripogon loliiformis and Cyperus gracilis.
