Abstract

The botanical composition and regeneration characteristics are described for a Melaleuca ricifoliaLeptospermum lanigerum forest from northwestern Tasmania. The size classes of the two dominant species are highly correlated with tree age. Size class analysis shows that the dominants are regenerating continuously. The relationship of this forest type to rainforest and wet sclerophyll forest are discussed.
