The present extent of this vegetation group is estimated to be about 214,000 km (83,000 sq mi) but the estimate prior to 1750 is 318,000 km (123,000 sq mi). In 2001, the area covered by this vegetation group is estimated to be 65% of its pre-1750 coverage.

About 33% of the clearing of this vegetation type is estimated to have accounted for 10% of the total area of land clearing in
Australia. In South Australia, clearing of the mallee started in the late 19th century, following the introduction of the
