Name: Leucaena leucocephala Lowland Dry Ruderal Shrubland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This shrubland community is found in dry to mesic settings, typically below 457 m (1500 feet) elevation and on leeward settings. It is a disclimax shrubland maintained by fire, but strongly dominant due to allelopathic litter. The vegetation is characterized by a moderately dense, closed-canopy tall-shrub layer (2-5 m tall) that is dominated by nearly monotypic <i>Leucaena leucocephala</i>. There is often a sparse low-shrub stratum, though no single taxon is dominant; shrubs include <i>Sida cordifolia, Sida fallax, Waltheria indica</i>, and <i>Indigofera suffruticosa</i>. The sparse herbaceous stratum is dominated by <i>Talinum triangulare</i> with some <i>Urochloa maxima</i> and scattered seedlings of canopy trees, <i>Kalanchoe pinnata, Passiflora foetida, Catharanthus roseus</i>, and <i>Commelina benghalensis</i>.  Accession Code: VB.CC.31677.CEGL008114 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
