Name: Albizia julibrissin - Broussonetia papyrifera - Triadica sebifera Ruderal Forest Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This alliance contains naturalized exotic forests on old fields and waste areas colonized by <i>Albizia julibrissin, Broussonetia papyrifera, Triadica sebifera</i>, or <i>Maclura pomifera</i>. <i>Maclura pomifera</i> is a native species in a narrow region of the eastern U.S., but is so widely planted outside of its range that it is effectively exotic. Dominance-based suballiances may be described. <i>Albizia julibrissin</i> stands have dense to rather sparse cover. Stands are mostly 3-7 m tall. These forests occur on the upper slopes of loess bluffs of the Mississippi River and are probably more widespread in the warmer areas of the southeastern U.S. <i>Broussonetia papyrifera</i> forests are dominated by the non-native tree <i>Broussonetia papyrifera</i> in all strata. Native canopy or subcanopy trees occur at low cover values. <i>Triadica sebifera</i>-dominated upland forests are often found on old fields, dredge spoil, or other disturbed sites. Understory and herb layers are often poorly developed. Finally, <i>Maclura pomifera</i> occurs in pure stands or makes up the majority of the canopy. These are forests that typically result from the spread of plantings of <i>Maclura pomifera</i> or its invasion following land abandonment and/or fire, or from other severe disturbance. Stands are usually small (10-15 ha [30-40 acres]), with associated species varying widely depending on geography and habitat. <i>Maclura pomifera</i> produces no sawtimber, pulpwood, or utility poles, but it has been planted in greater numbers than almost any other tree species in North America, having become naturalized throughout the United States and southern Canada.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:38520-{36AF9F38-1AC1-4139-998E-13AF29149EA2} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
