EVC/Bioregion Benchmark for Vegetation Quality Assessment Robinvale Plains bioregion EVC 818: Shrubby Riverine Woodland Description: Eucalypt woodland to open forest to 15 m tall of less flood-prone (riverine) watercourse fringes, principally on levees and higher sections of point-bar deposits. The understorey includes a range of species shared with drier floodplain habitats with a sparse shrub component, ground-layer patchily dominated by various life-forms. A range of large dicot herbs (mostly herbaceous perennial, several with a growth-form approaching that of small shrub) are often conspicuous.
