Abstract
In the Waitakere Range Leptospermum forms seral communities following the abandonment of farmland developed from forest containing kauri, podocarps, and hardwood species. The structure and composition of the communities are related to ages of stands, the coastal influence, topography, and cattle browsing. There are two main successional trends, one towards kauri forest, the other towards rimu dominance.Keywords
