Threatened flora species habitat

Key Finding

Threatened flora habitat loss is ongoing in Queensland.

Queensland

Pre-clearing habitat extent for 700 of Queensland’s endangered and vulnerable flora species was modelled and mapped for Queensland. Prior to land clearing, habitat was widespread in Queensland for:

  • 194 threatened eucalypt forest and woodland species
  • 335 threatened rainforest and scrub species
  • 25 threatened Acacia forest, woodland and shrubland species
  • 50 threatened wetland and Melaleuca open woodland species
  • 17 threatened grassland and forbland species
  • 79 threatened heath and other coastal community species.

Prior to land clearing, the largest extent of threatened flora habitat was found in the Brigalow Belt bioregion, with the exception of habitat for threatened heath and other coastal community species, which was most extensive in South East Queensland. Pre-clearing habitat for threatened eucalypt forest and woodland species, rainforest and scrub species as well as grassland and forbland species was also extensive in the South East Queensland bioregion. Large areas of pre-clearing habitat for threatened Acacia forest, woodland and shrubland species and wetland and Melaleuca open woodland species was found in the Mulga Lands and Mitchell Grass Downs bioregions.

Although most habitat loss for Queensland’s threatened flora occurred before 1997, habitat for threatened flora continues to be cleared. While additional remnant habitat for threatened heath and other coastal flora species in South East Queensland (see detail for SEQ) was mapped in 2013, clearing of this habitat is ongoing.

  • 32% to 40% of pre-clearing habitat for most threatened flora groups had been cleared 2017.
  • Threatened grassland and forbland flora is the exception, with 60% of habitat cleared prior to 2017.

Land clearing in Queensland between 1997 and 2017 was primarily for pasture development.

It should be noted that some threatened flora species may be able to utilise non-remnant vegetation and that threatening processes such as habitat degradation, loss of habitat connectivity, disease, herbivory, invasive species, grazing and inappropriate fire management place significant additional pressure on threatened flora in both remnant and non-remnant habitat.

Brigalow Belt

Pre-clearing habitat extent for 215 currently threatened flora species was modelled for the Brigalow Belt (BRB) bioregion. Prior to land clearing, BRB provided habitat for:

  • 111 threatened eucalypt forest and woodland species
  • 47 threatened rainforest and scrub species
  • 15 threatened Acacia forest, woodland and shrubland species
  • 13 threatened wetland and Melaleuca open woodland species
  • 10 threatened grassland and forbland species
  • 19 threatened heath and other coastal community species.

BRB experienced ongoing loss of habitat for all threatened flora groups between 1997 and 2017.

This list shows the percentage of pre-cleared habitat for threatened species that had been cleared by 2017 in BRB:

  • 48% threatened eucalypt forest and woodland species
  • 63% threatened rainforest and scrub flora
  • 77% threatened Acacia forest, woodland and shrubland flora
  • 65% threatened wetland and Melaleuca open woodland species
  • 64% threatened grassland and forbland flora
  • 27% threatened heath and other coastal community flora

BRB land clearing between 1997 and 2017 was primarily for pasture development.

It should be noted that some threatened flora species may be able to utilise non-remnant vegetation and that threatening processes such as habitat degradation, loss of habitat connectivity, disease, herbivory, invasive species, grazing and inappropriate fire management place significant additional pressure on threatened flora in both remnant and non-remnant habitat.

Cape York Peninsula

Pre-clearing habitat extent for 144 currently threatened flora species was modelled for the Cape York Peninsular (CYP) bioregion. Prior to land clearing, CYP provided habitat for:

  • 17 threatened eucalypt forest and woodland species
  • 100 threatened rainforest and scrub species
  • 19 threatened wetland and Melaleuca open woodland species
  • 1 threatened grassland and forbland species
  • 6 threatened heath and other coastal community species.

CYP experienced ongoing loss of habitat between 1997 and 2017 for most threatened flora groups.

  • There has been no clearing of threatened grassland and forbland species and threatened heath and other coastal species habitat since 1997.
  • 99% of pre-clearing habitat for threatened eucalypt forest and woodland flora remained in 2017.
  • 98% of pre-clearing habitat for threatened rainforest and scrub flora remains uncleared.
  • Over 99% of pre-clearing habitat for threatened wetland and Melaleuca open woodland flora remained uncleared in 2017.
  • 81% of pre-clearing habitat for threatened grassland and forbland species remained in 1997.
  • Over 99% of the pre-clearing habitat for threatened heath and other coastal community flora remains uncleared in 2017.

CYP land clearing between 1997 and 2017 was primarily for mining and pasture development.

It should be noted that some threatened flora species may be able to utilise non-remnant vegetation and that threatening processes such as habitat degradation, loss of habitat connectivity, disease, herbivory, invasive species, grazing and inappropriate fire management place significant additional pressure on threatened flora in both remnant and non-remnant habitat.

Central Queensland Coast

  • 98% of pre-clearing habitat for heath and other coastal community flora remained in 2017.

CQC land clearing between 1997 and 2017 was primarily for pasture development.

It should be noted that some threatened flora species may be able to utilise non-remnant vegetation and that threatening processes such as habitat degradation, loss of habitat connectivity, disease, herbivory, invasive species, grazing and inappropriate fire management place significant additional pressure on threatened flora in both remnant and non-remnant habitat.

Channel Country

Pre-clearing habitat extent for 17 currently threatened flora species was modelled for the Channel Country (CHC) bioregion. Prior to land clearing, CHC provided habitat for:

  • 1 threatened eucalypt forest and woodland species

Metadata

Hectares of threatened terrestrial flora habitat predicted to have occurred across Queensland and per bioregion prior to land clearing and remaining as remnant vegetation between 1997 and 2017. Potential habitat has been created using both MAXENT which uses species presence records combined with 7 environmental layers (annual mean temperature, temperature seasonality, annual precipitation, mean moisture index of the lowest quarter moisture index, pre-clearing broad vegetation group, land zone and terrain ruggedness) and buffered species records. Habitat is refined using Regional Ecosystems mapping (version 11, 2019).
