Within its area it has the geographic boundaries of both tropical and cool temperate rainforest species. It also has one of the steepest gradients along the east coast of Australia. Cool Temperate Rainforest (4) occurs in sheltered valleys of the escarpment. Antarctic Beech is the dominant species in (4) and today it is more commonly found in Tasmania. It is very sensitive to bushfires. Thus contemporary management practices, such as fire hazard reduction, have resulted in it now invading the Eucalypt Woodland (2).
