Zusammenfassung: | Stands of common varieties of the multi-purpose, nitrogen-fixing tree species Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit (leucaena) are underutilized in Asia and the Pacific. These stands could be managed as sources of fiber and fodder if the quantities of useable wood and foliage could be easily estimated. Trees from mature, natural stands of common leucaena on the islands of Guam, Saipan and Oahu were measured and the data fit to equations for total tree weight, wood weight and foliage weight. Weight tables are provided as management tools for determining the amounts of wood and foliage present in common leucaena stands. Dirian varieti biasa spesies pokok pelbagai guna, pengikat nitrogen Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit (leucaena) kurang digunakan di Asia dan Pasifik. Dirian ini dapat diuruskan sebagai sumber gentian dan ragutan sekiranya kuantiti kayu dan dedaun yang boleh digunakan dapat ditaksir dengan mudah. Pokok leucaena dari dirian yang matang dan semula jadi di pulau-pulau Guam, Saipan dan Oahu disukat dan datanya dimasukkan dalam persamaan-persamaan jumlah berat pokok, berat kayu dan berat dedaun. Jadual berat disediakan sebagai alat pengurusan untuk menentukan jumlah kayu dan dedaun yang hadir dalam dirian leucaena biasa. |
