Tasmanian high mountain vegetation II - Rocky Hill and Pyramid Mountain.

Abstract

Buried Athrotaxis logs in the present alpine zone, the patterns of distribution of fire-susceptible species and other evidence suggest that the area has been subject to at least 2 severe and extensive fires, which have resulted in landscape instability. Nevertheless, the present vegetation of the area is varied, lacking only deciduous heath and tussock grassland of the alpine subformations and having a full range from sedgeland to closed-forest in the subalpine vegetation.-from Author
