Nature in my area at least always fills non or lightly grazed land with Gorse and Broom: both leguminous. Your post inspired me to check the amount of nitrogen fixed by these in the soil. Apparently in a study done in NZ where, unlike here, gorse is an introduced species, it's capable of fixing up to 200 kg ha N annually. That's up there with beans...! And oh...the overpowering scent of gorse on a sunny day is just to die for... https//www.researchgate.net/publication/240383631_Nitrogen_cycling_in_gorse-dominated_ecosystems_in_New_Zealand
