Habitat dynamics and disturbance
The rainforests of the deep sandstone gorges are relatively protected from fire and drought compared to the surrounding woodlands and forests which occur on the ridges above the gorges. For this reason the habitat of the Wollemi Pine is sometimes referred to as a refuge or refugium. Disturbance regimes are also key to Wollemi Pine habitat (see Responses to disturbance regimes section).
