Abstract

Warra National Park Reserve vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2001 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Warra NP is located approximately 35 km south of Glen Innes and 5 km west of Mount Mitchell. Warra National Park lies withinthe New England Tablelands Bioregion, the Northern Tablelands Botanical division and the local government areas of the Guyra Shire and the County of Gresham and the Severn Shire north of the Sara River. At present the Park encompasses 2041 ha.

The vegetation of Warra National Park is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Nine communities are defined based on PATN analysis and a further two communities are mapped based on information derived from previous investigations. These eleven communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Two communities are considered endangered and one should be considered vulnerable. Most communities are of open forest structure, although sedgelands, heaths, woodlands, mallee scrubs and tall open forests also occur. Many of the communities show considerable variation and intergrade along common boundaries and in particular on intermediate soil types. Physiography was the major correlative influence on community distribution, however protection from the south west, time since fire, altitude were also strongly correlated.

Lineage

The requirements of the investigation were: 1. Collate existing information from previous vegetation surveys conducted within the Warra NP. Data sources recovered included full floristic sites from: • 46 sites conducted for the floristic inventory of the granitic outcrop vegetation of the New England Batholith (Hunter 1999) • 7 sites from State Forests (Binns 1993) • mapping from National Botanical Gardens surveys (Benson & Ashby 2000); includes 5 sites 2. Site placement to be based on selected environmental variables and be distributed based on the area they occupy. 3. Identify weed species and their occurrence. 4. Identify ROTAP and TSC Act species and their occurrence. 5. Identify regionally significant species. 6. Provide known fire ecology information on species and communities. 7. Construction of a vegetation map based on communities as defined by PATN analysis. 8. Provide management recommendations. 9. Collection of voucher specimens for reference.
