| Research Abstract |
1. Leucaena leucocephala, which was once considered to be an aggressive invader in Bonin, no longer displays such a vigorous nature.
2. L. leucocephal cannot invade into healthy native vegetation and the pure stands of this species bibin collapse of dieback.
3. The native tree species can invade into L. leucocephala stands if seed dispersing mother trees are present at near sites.
4. Some L. leucocephala stands, where saplings of this and native trees are absent due to the grazing of wild sheeps, may retrogressively change into herblands after the stand dieback.
5. Pinus luchuensis dominated stands can change into native vegetation after the death of old pine trees.
6. Biscofia javanica is reveiled to be the most vigorously invading tree species into the hative vegetation.
7. The most representative native vegetation of Bonin is now seriously invaded by B. javanica and many rare endemic species will be extinguished in near future.
