Kowhai (Sophora species) and other nitrogen-fixing plants of New Zealand

Thomas, Michael B.; Spurway, Mervyn I.
Abstract
New Zealand has a range of trees and shrubs which are able to fix nitrogen from the atmosphere through root nodules. They consist of legumes and some N-fixing nonlegumes known as actinorhizal plants. The objective of this paper is to review the species involved (particularly Sophora species), and discuss any implications for nursery production.
