“…Therefore, to mitigate the decay of trees, monitoring of growth and health of the tree is needed with a proper method. The electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) method can be used to detect tree decay (Larsson, et al, 2004;Soge, et al, 2018).…”

“…A conductive material, such as water, will produce a low resistivity value, while a non-conducting material, such as air, will produce a large resistivity value because electric current is difficult to flow. In the last decade, the development of the ERT method was also carried out to measure water content in tree trunks and structural differentiation in tree trunks (Lin, et al, 2012;Guyot, et al, 2013) as well as identification of tree decay (Larsson et al, 2004;Soge, et al, 2018).…”

The existence of trees is very beneficial for humans’ life. There are utilizations of tree such as urban planning and reforestation. However, the tree can be dangerous when the tree is aged and decay because of several factors that might be cause fallen tree. Furthermore, the monitoring activity is needed to know the condition of the tree. One of the methods that can be used to detect hollow in living tree is Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT). The ERT is an efficient and nondestructive method that can be potential to estimate resistivity cross section. The measurement of ERT conducted on Swietenia mahagoni and Gmelina with unhealthy and healthy condition visually. The data processed using Res2Dinv and reconstructed for obtaining 2D resistivity cross section. The results shows that the unhealthy Swietenia mahagoni has logarithmic resistivity value range between 0.1-1 Ωm and the healthy Swietenia mahagoni has 1-4 Ωm. Meanwhile, the unhealthy and healthy Gmelina has logarithmic resistivity value range between 0.5-4.5 Ωm and 0.5-3 Ωm, respectively. It is shows that the tree indicated health visually from biological view does not mean the tree is decay. It might be influenced by phenology factor and/or the species of the tree.

“…One major importance of acoustic technology that is of interest to forest managers is the assessment of tree and log qualities through the detection of deterioration (decay) (Wang et al, 2004a). Some of the challenges associated with tree decay and failure are loss of lives, and properties (Johnstone et al, 2015; Soge et al, 2018; Soge et al, 2019), economic and ecological values of a tree (Soge et al, 2018), and dimensional instability during service, amongst others. Therefore, providing adequate information on effective non-destructive evaluation methods would help forest managers identify hazardous trees, prevent the spread of decay, and improve stand conditions.…”

Assessing intrinsic wood qualities such as modulus of elasticity and internal decay in trees and logs can be challenging. However, acoustic technologies have been investigated for a possible solution. This paper reviews available literature on non-destructive acoustic methods for assessing wood quality, both in tree and log form. The paper further reviews the effects of silvicultural practices (such as thinning and pruning) on wood quality assessed by nondestructive acoustic methods. We documented some of the benefits of application of nondestructive acoustic methods on wood quality of trees and logs. The acoustic velocity of a tree (V T ) or log (V L ) of the propagated waves and wood density can be used to determine the Dynamic Modulus of Elasticity (MOEd). Thinning was reported to affect V T /V L and MOEd negatively. Acoustic tomography methods were equally found to have good accuracy in detecting the location and extent of wood decay in standing trees and logs.
