Forest Health Monitoring

The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service (USFS), together with state partners, developed methods to monitor urban forest structure, function, and health at a large statewide scale. Pilot studies have been established in five states using protocols based on USFS Forest Inventory and Analysis and Forest Health Monitoring program data collection standards. Variables and data analysis are described. Advantages of a large-scale monitoring study are discussed and examples of results from Wisconsin are presented. Studies in Indiana, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Tennessee, and Colorado, U.S., have shown that urban forest health monitoring data collection and analysis is feasible and can be implemented nationally.

The Status

Urban forest is one component of green open space. The assessment of the condition of tree damage in the area of ​​green open space is very important. Damage to trees can eliminate the function of the tree itself, it can even cause economic losses. Therefore, tree damage can be an indicator where trees are said to be healthy or sick. This study aims to determine the status of the condition of tree damage in the Stadion Urban Forest, Metro City, Lampung Province. The study was conducted using the Forest Health Monitoring (FHM) method. The results showed that there were eight locations of tree damage with the most found locations of damage, namely at the branch location (code 7) as many as 115 locations (37.34%); 12 types of tree damage with the most types of damage found, namely the type of broken or dead branches (code 22) as many as 110 (35.71%); with an average severity of tree damage ≥20%. Thus the status of the condition of tree damage in the Stadion Urban Forest, Metro City, Lampung Province is in the healthy category of 300 trees (77%), is being 69 trees (18%), and sick 19 trees (5%).

Forest Health Monitoring

Urban forests have a high intensity of exposure from external factors such as air pollution and human activity disturbances. As a result, fallen trees and tree defects often occurred and can endanger the people around the city. This study aimed to assess tree health in Cianjur Urban Forest and formulate tree health management strategies. The tree health assessment used the Forest Health Monitoring (FHM) method. The management strategy was formulated using the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) Matrix and Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM). Tree sampling using FHM plots determined about 534 trees from 30 species. The results showed that Cianjur Urban Forest had high land productivity and biodiversity. The canopy condition was 86.41% in good condition. The results revealed that 92.70%, 5.34%, 1.31%, and 0.56% of the trees were in healthy, lightly, moderately, and heavily damaged conditions, respectively. The tree species that suffered the most damage was Acacia denticulosa. The most types of tree damage were leaf damage and rotten wood. Cianjur Urban Forest benefits the community as a place for natural tourism, sports, education, and expand job opportunities. However, the management of Cianjur Urban Forest has not been implemented effectively. There are three priority strategies to improve tree health management in Cianjur Urban Forest, i.e., conducting the assessment, evaluation, and action on damaged trees, community cooperation, institutional strengthening development programs, and optimizing collaboration and government commitment with managers.Keywords: Forest Health Monitoring, SWOT analysis, QSPM matrix, urban forest

The research has been conducted in the forest area block collection of plants and/or animals Wan Abdul Rachman Forest Park Lampung Province, which is in Sumber Agung Subdistrict, Kemiling Subdistrict, Bandar Lampung city covering 141.18 ha. The study was conducted to obtain forest health status at the study site. The data collection method uses the forest health monitoring (FHM) technique on 8 cluster clusters with a sampling intensity of 2.30%. The results showed that 25% (2 clusters) were categorized very well, 38% (3 clusters) were categorized as good, 12% (1 clusters) were categorized as moderate and 25% (2 clusters) were categorized as very poor. There needs to be maintenance activities for trees in the research location so that the functions and benefits of the area can be optimized

The assessment of tree condition is very important to ensure visitor safety and to maintain the sustainability of Metro Urban Forest. However, data and information on the condition of trees in six locations of Metro Urban Forest are not yet available. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess tree damage in each Metro Urban Forest. Evaluation of tree damage such as location, type, and level of tree damage was conducted for each tree in accordance with the damage criteria of the Forest Health Monitoring method. Data were then analyzed by calculating the damage index and tree damage level index. The results showed that the vegetation in Metro Urban Forests was dominated by trees with the healthy condition of 1.549 trees or 87% of the total trees, hence the Metro Urban Forests could be considered safe for visitors. The level of tree damage in each Metro Urban Forest is as follows: 3% in Islamic Center Urban Forest, 9% in Tesarigaga Urban Forest, 12% in Bumi Perkemahan Urban Forest, 13% in Linara Urban Forest, 23% in Terminal 16c Urban Forest, and 23% in Stadion Urban Forest at 23%. Overall tree damage in the Metro Urban Forest reached 232 trees or 13% of the total trees. Tree maintenance in each urban forest in Metro City is needed to maintain tree health, the safety of visitors, and improve the quality of the urban environment. Keywords: damaged trees, Forest Health Monitoring, Metro Urban Forests
