| description | Urbanization creates significant changes in land use and land cover, structure, pattern and
function of the ecosystem. Proper landscape planning in urban green spaces is crucial to the
creation of urban forestry system that is closely associated with the city dwellers. Urban trees
play an important in landscape beautification, in reduction of air pollution, moderating local
climate, sequestering carbon and has significant contribution towards aesthetic va'lues and
ecosystem The main objective of the study was to calculate the species diversity of urban trees
and also to evaluate the health status of trees planted within Tabuan Jaya Recreational Park. A
total of 260 trees belonging to 25 species were recorded growing in Tabuan Jaya Recreational
Park. Sygyzium campanulatum with 67 trees: 25.77% was the major species planted followed by
Roystonea regia with 47 trees: 18.08%, Ptychosperma macarthurii with 36 trees: 13.85%,
Spathodea companulata with 12 trees: 4.62%, Pometia pin nata with 11 trees: 4.23% and more.
Species Diversity Index (SOl) of urban trees planted at Tabuan Jaya Recreational Park was 7.22.
The characteristics of tree species planted and the management issues were discussed. |
