Eroded Ridge Crest
Map symbol: EC
The eroded ridge crest landscape unit occurs only in the area north of Coromby. The landform is that of undulating plains with occasional relatively sharp rises and associated depressions. Buloke (Casuarina luehmanii) occur singly and occasionally in fairly dense stands.
The characteristic soil types are Drung sandy clay loam and Kalkee clay. They cover approximately equal areas and together occupy most of the landscape. Type B only occurs in this landscape. The Drung soils occur typically on pronounced rises and the Kalkee soils on the plains at a lower level.
This photo shows the eroded ridge crest unit and adjacent gently undulating plains unit. Note the mix of soil types in the red and grey soil complex.
