When managing land, what element should habitat management prioritize for Woma survival infrastructure?

Soil integrity sustaining burrowing mammals or termite mounds

Effective habitat management for the Woma python requires a strategic focus on the subsurface health of the ecosystem, as the species' existence is fundamentally linked to stable, deep shelters. Therefore, management goals, whether involving grazing or fire regimes, should prioritize ensuring that soil integrity remains high enough to sustain the critical infrastructure provided by burrowing mammals (like rabbits) or large termite mounds. If the soil structure is compromised through compaction or erosion, the quality of the Woma's primary thermal and safety infrastructure degrades, posing a direct threat to local populations even if surface vegetation appears superficially unaffected by the management action.
