EVC/Bioregion Benchmark for Vegetation Quality Assessment Robinvale Plains bioregion EVC 103: Riverine Chenopod Woodland (syn. Box Chenopod Woodland) Description: Eucalypt woodland to 15 m tall with a diverse shrubby and grassy understorey occurring on most elevated riverine terraces. Confined to heavy clay soils on higher level terraces within or on the margins of riverine floodplains (or former floodplains), naturally subject to only extremely infrequent incidental shallow flooding from major events if at all flooded. trees: Species DBH(cm) #/ha Eucalyptus largiflorens 40 cm 5/ha Tree Canopy Cover: %cover Character Species Common Name 10% Eucalyptus largiflorens Black Box Acacia stenophylla River Coobah Understorey: Life form #Spp LF code Immature Canopy Tree 5% IT Medium 3 30% MS Small Shrub 5 25% SS Prostrate 1 1% PS Medium Herb 5 5% MH or Prostrate Herb* 5 10% SH Medium to Small Tufted Graminoid 2 5% MTG Largely seasonal life form Total understorey projective foliage cover 50% LF Code Species typical of at least part of EVC range Common Name Atriplex nummularia MS Old-man Saltbush MS Chenopodium nitrariaceum Nitre Goosefoot Eremophila divaricata divaricata MS ssp.
