Eleocharis plana (Flat Spike-sedge) and Juncus spp. may be more abundant, and the fern, Marsilea drummondii (Nardoo), may occur.

Seasonal herbs that may be present include: Bulbine alata (bulbine lily), Brachyscome dentata (Lobed-seed Daisy), Einadia nutans (Climbing Saltbush), Erodium crinitum (Blue Crowfoot), Oxalis chnoodes (Wood-sorrell) and Wahlenbergia spp. (Bluebells). Low shrubs may also be present, sometimes as localised patches, and typically include the chenopods: Enchylaena tomentosa (Ruby Saltbush), Maireana spp. (fissure weeds), Rhagodia spinescens (Thorny Saltbush), Sclerolaena birchii (Galvanized Burr) and Sclerolaena muricata (Black Roly Poly). During drought, the cover of grasses and herbs may decline, leaving low chenopod shrubs as the most conspicuous ground layer plants.

The ecological community includes a variety of fauna species, including nationally threatened species such as Anthochaera phrygia (Regent Honeyeater), Grantiella picta (Painted Honeyeater), Nyctophilus geoffroyi (Lesser Long-eared Bat), Onychogalea fraenata (Bridled Nailtail Wallaby) and Phascolarctos cinereus (Koala).
