- 3.8. Shrubland – Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation
Introduced to stabilise eroding land (in combination with other Acacia longifolia, Acacia melanoxylon and aloes). In some areas, for instance White Hill, where Acacia species were planted these have now been cut down to make way for more useful forestry species such as pine and Casuarina. However, where Acacia species have been planted there has been little seedling regeneration (natural seedling establishment). The reasons why regeneration has been limited, despite good seed production are not known. (Environmental Conservation Section of the Agriculture and Forestry Department (1995-1998) Bulletin.);
