Pinus Merkusii

Pine (Pinus merkusii) is tree species that provides timber and gum rosin. To meet the needs of wood and non wood (gum rosin) products, planting by using superior or high quality seeds are needed. Seed procurements for planting are obtained from seedling seed orchard (SSO). However, Cijambu’s SSO was attacked by pine woolly aphid (Pineus boerneri). Therefore, assessment of Cijambu’s SSO needs to be done to evaluate the severity pest attacks that could affect to the quality and the quantity of seed production. Forest Health Monitoring (FHM) method is one of the methods to assess the health level of a stand. The number of trees found in all cluster plots in Cijambu’s SSO were 270 trees. Based on the value of the VCR (Visual Crown Rating), the trees located in all cluster plot have health level between low to high. Based on the value of the VCR showed 38.52% (104 trees) having VCR’s value was high, 49.26% (133 trees) having VCR’s value was middle; 12.22% (33 trees) having VCR’s value was low; and no tree having very low VCR’s value. The average of VCR’s value in all cluster plots were 3.25 and classified as middle health. Based on the value of TDLI (Tree Damage Level Index) from 270 trees in all cluster plot showed that 189 trees (70.00%) in healthy condition; 69 trees (25.56%) in slight damage condition; 11 trees (4.07%) in middle damage condition; and 1 tree (0.37%) in heavy damage condition. The value of damage in all cluster plots (ALI) was 261.22 and classified as in health condition. The trees located in all cluster plots were mostly suitable to be seed sources as 242 trees (89.63%), while 28 trees (10.37%) were not suitable for seed sources.Keywords: Forest Health Monitoring, Pinus merkusii, seedling seed orchard, Tree Damage Level Index, Visual Crown Rating

Abstract The surrounding community widely uses mangrove forests as a fulfillment of life. This requires an efforts to preserve the mangrove forest so that no damage occurs. This study aimed to determine the internal factors that affect the health condition of mangrove forests. The research method used to obtain internal factor data is by measuring the ecological indicators of forest health using the Forest Health Monitoring (FHM) method, then the data is processed by the Multiple Regression Analysis method using SPSS 20 through data on internal factors of mangrove forest health which are analyzed for their effect on health conditions of the mangrove forest. The results showed that the significant value of the regression was 0.008 ((α = 0.05) > 0.008), this means that simultaneously the independent variables (tree damage, crown damage, Cation Exchange Capacity-CEC, and biodiversity have an effect on the dependent variable (mangrove forest health) at the level of = 5%. Furthermore, through individual regression coefficients from internal factor data, it is found that the internal factors of biodiversity indicators in measurements 1 and 2 and crown conditions in the second measurement do not affect forest health conditions. Therefore, this research concludes that the internal factors that affect the level of forest health in the first measurement are vitality indicators (tree damage/cluster Plot Index-CLI and crown condition) and site quality indicators (CEC). Meanwhile, in the second measurement, there was a change in the crown condition parameters, which did not significantly affect forest health.

Moso Bamboo Forest

Abstract Background: The Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) forest is an important forest resource. The health status of the Moso bamboo forest are increasingly affected by a range of unscientific and irrational management, which may permanently alter the Moso bamboo forest economic value and ecological function and disrupt the long-term sustainable management. However, how to assess the health status of the Moso bamboo forest and guide the scientific management of the Moso bamboo forest are little known. Methods: The index system of Moso bamboo forest health assessment was identified and quantified by literature collection, indicators simplification, expert questionnaires, and mathematical analysis. The health index of Moso bamboo forest health assessment was calculated by the comprehensive health index method. The practicability and feasibility of the health index were verified in the Moso bamboo forest in Anhui and Fujian provinces of China.Results: An index system that included four layers and 19 indicators could comprehensively assess the health of the Moso bamboo forest. This index system assessed the ‘Health basis of the Moso bamboo forest’ and the ‘Value and function of the Moso bamboo forest’. The health index of the Moso bamboo forest in Anhui and Fujian provinces ranged from 0.50 to 0.83. Only2.35 % of the Moso bamboo forest showed a health index higher than 0.80, whereas the health index of 22.35 % of the forest was lower than 0.60. The health index of the Moso bamboo forest was higher under irrigation management and fertilization management than others. The treetop cutting was not recommended unless those areas had frequent occurrences of snow and ice disasters. Conclusions: These results suggest that the health status need to be improved in most of the Moso bamboo forest. Scientific management would be the important tool to keep and improve the health status of Moso bamboo forest. Our results can be adapted in the resource management and policy decisions for better management of the Moso bamboo forest.

Abstract Fort A.P. Hill's Range and Training Land Assessments (RTLA) program initiated long-term monitoring of installation forests to assess forest health and ensure optimal sustainability of forest resources for military training activities. A subset of forest health indicators developed by the USDA Forest Service Forest Health Monitoring (FHM) and Forest Inventory and Analysis programs were used to assess forest health on Army training lands at Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia. Indicators of tree crown condition and tree damage condition were taken in forested areas where military training occurs, “tactical concealment areas (TCAs),” and on continuous forest monitoring (CFM) plots established in control stands where military training is absent. A higher percent of trees with high crown dieback, low crown density, and multiple types of stem damage were observed within TCAs than on CFM plots. The results are indicative of possible long-term changes to forest health from military training activities. The FHM forest health indicators proved to be an effective and useful approach to assess tree conditions. South. J. Appl. For. 29(3):143–147.

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.
