^aMature, Regrowth, and Silvicultural Regeneration refers to eucalypt forests. E denotes eucalypt and ER regrowth. Numbers in the Forest Class descriptor represent either mature or regeneration height, and letters denote mature crown density or regrowth eucalypt crown cover. Mature eucalypt height classes are: 1 (>55 m), 2 (41–55 m), +3 (34–41 m), −3 (27–34 m), 4 (15–27 m), 5 (<15 m). Regrowth height classes are: 1 (<15 m), 2 (15–27 m), 3 (27–37 m), 4 (37–44 m), 5 (44–50 m), and 6 (>50 m). Mature eucalypt crown density codes and % crown cover are: a (70–100%), b (40–70%), c (20–40%), and d (5–20%). Regrowth eucalypt crown density codes and % crown cover are: a (90–100%), b (70–90%), c (50–70%), and d (10–50%). ^bER denotes regrowth, and numbers denote regrowth height or height range. Ex describes mature eucalypt component. ^cER denotes regrowth, numbers denote regrowth height or height range, and/number describes regrowth height potential at maturity. ^dSilvicultural Regeneration with height potential of regeneration indicated after/, or unstocked regions with height potential when stocked with eucalypts indicated after/. X denotes unknown height potential. ^eSee Methods for description of rainforest Forest Classes on observed growth rates, recorded height of previous stands, and evidence of previous tree heights from standing dead trees, fallen trees, or clumps of remnant forest.
