Reclamation and erosion control
Albizia amara is an N-fixing tree and its spreading root system helps binding the soil. It is reported to be effective for the afforestation of degraded hilly areas in arid and semi-arid areas, in combination with Acacia catechu, Acacia planifrons, Anogeissus latifolia and Azadirachta indica (Orwa et al., 2009).
