Responses to disturbance regimes
The Wollemi Pine is restricted to specialised habitats in rainforest communities in deep sandstone gorges, which maintains a closed canopy vegetation structure with an understorey of shrubs or juvenile trees, and a dense layer of ferns. Disturbance events in this community are important for producing canopy gaps that may be necessary for successful regeneration in Wollemi Pine.
