“…Through these techniques, lichens have been widely used as the biological indicator to determine forest health. Lichens from forests were collected and analyzed to measure the concentrations of heavy metals such as Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb (Kłos et al, 2011), concentrations of S and N (Cleavitt et al, 2015), the efficiency of the chlorophyll (Loppi and Baragatti 2011) and the integrity of the cell membrane in the lichen (Will-Wolf et al, 2018). Also, monitoring has been carried out on heavy metals such as K, Fe, Mg, Ca, Zn, Pb, Cd, and Cu from the internal organs of mammals, such as the liver of wild boar (Kasprzyk et al, 2020), the colon of rats (Naderi et al, 2017) and the blood of livestock (Amadi et al, 2020).…”

The approach for monitoring forest health such as canopy layer, air quality, soil texture has evolved in tandem with the advancement of new technology such as lab analysis, remote sensing etc. The application of biomonitoring techniques for example species diversity and morphological observation, on the other hand, has been positive and has made its own contribution to forest management. Many studies have been conducted in the last decade (2011–2021), which use the biomonitoring techniques in assessing the forest health status. Therefore, this study aims to systematically review the forest health biomonitoring techniques in the last decade. This study used the PRISMA guidelines as the protocol to search and analyze all the papers. This study selected 72 out of 538 papers for a thematic analysis which eventually identified four main biomonitoring techniques, namely: 1) diversity distribution, 2) morphological observations, 3) trace elements, minerals and physiological measurements, and 4) behavioral observations. The biomonitoring techniques applied to monitor forest health has evolved with numerous ways that can support existing technologies, as well as help educate people on the necessity of protecting and safeguarding the natural forest environment. This also will give more options to the authority in monitoring the forest health and not only focusing on technology.
