University of Sumatera Utara (USU) located in the densely populated urban area and committed to maintain the vegetations of green space which are fundamental to the key indicator in green campus ranking. Green open spaces are a vital element in urban areas providing the comfortable-healthy spaces for urban communities and numerous of environmental services. Specifically, the quality of environmental services depends on the extensive of green spaces, climate characteristic, and existing vegetation as the natural element at the area. Vegetation analysis is the method to study the composition, structure, and form of plant communities that is a prerequisite for describing diverse ecological processes and dynamics of species community in a forest. This study aims to analyze the important value, diversity, evenness, and richness index of USU green space vegetation based on the growth levels from seedlings to trees. The sampling plot was quantified using 2% sampling intensity and positioned with a simple random method. Species name, individual and species number, diameter at breast height (DBH), and stand height were recorded in the designated plots and subplots for each life stage. This research documented 21 species belonging to 12 families at USU green space. Swietenia mahagoni was the dominant species at all growth level with the IVI of 141.07 % (trees), 144.21 % (poles), 133.33 % (saplings), and 135.37 % (seedlings). The species diversity of trees and poles was moderate (H’= 1.6 – 1.7), whereas of saplings and seedlings was low (H’= 0.6 – 0.7). Vegetation evenness at all growth levels was high (E= 0.6 – 1.0). The species richness of trees was identified as moderate (R= 3.5) and of seedlings, saplings, and poles was low (R= 0.2 – 2.5). The seedlings and saplings were inadequate indicating the poor regeneration threatening the tree existence at USU green space.

“…The detail tree species found in the Stabat City Forest can be seen in Table 1. 29 species of 17 families were found in the city parks and forests of Kediri, East Java, Indonesia, with the 5 species most predominant being the Fabaceae family [7]. According to [8], the restoration of biodiversity and the quality of the urban environment can be carried out through several strategies, namely: assessment of conservation areas, improvement of habitat quality, improvement of the quality of green areas, and community empowerment of conservation areas.…”

Urban forests are part of urban green open spaces that are planted to provide direct or indirect advantages such as security, comfort, welfare, and the beauty of urban areas. The study’s objectives were to (1) assess the variety of flora species in the Stabat City Forest and (2) determine the structure of the composition of the species that compose the urban forest. The vegetation analysis approach was used in this study to determine the composition of the forest stand structure in Stabat City. From the results of research in from the results of the study that there are 14 species of trees in the city forest of Stabat which are included in 10 families, namely Meliaceae (14.28%), Moraceae (14.28%), Fabaceae (14.28%) and Myrtaceae (14.28%). The highest IVI value at the seedling, sapling, pole and tree were Oroxylum indicum (44.07%), Swietenia mahagoni (108.90%), Swietenia mahagoni (148%) and Switenia mahagony (76.71%) respectively. Swietenia mahagoni found as the species with the highest IVI value at sapling, pole and tree stage. Meaning that this species dominates the growth level.

“…Interestingly, old rural parks may serve as a refugium for forest species, and they can be more supportive of high biodiversity than remnants of wild forests [25]. Urban forests with well-preserved natural plant cover (wild urban forests) seem to be very different from typically designed city parks in their composition, structure and attractiveness for residents and tourists [9,[26][27][28][29]. First of all, they are usually richer in native plant species than urban parks [28][29][30][31].…”

First of all, they are usually richer in native plant species than urban parks [28][29][30][31]. Secondly, they have a distinct and spontaneously layered structure with a dense tree layer, a well-developed shrub layer and typical forest undergrowth, whereas in many urban parks, the density of trees and shrubs is usually low, and the undergrowth resembles meadows, grasslands or lawns [26,[31][32][33][34].…”

Urban forests and parks are essential for the maintenance of biodiversity as well as human health and well-being. Residents and tourists commonly use urban forests and parks for recreational and sport purposes, contributing to changes in vegetation. This study aimed to assess the effect of distance from formal paths on the abiotic conditions, vegetation cover, as well as ecological diversity of vascular plant species in the undergrowth of urban forests and parks. The investigations were carried out in 2021 in 10 urban forests and 10 urban parks located in Kraków (southern Poland), using a total of 400 plots (1 × 1 m) situated in close (CL) and further (FU) vicinity of formal paths. We found a positive effect of the distance from the path on the depth of the compact soil layer, vegetation cover and height of the tallest shoot in the undergrowth of urban forests and parks. On the other hand, the distance from the path had a negative effect on the number of vascular plant species in the undergrowth in both forests and parks. Forests and parks differed significantly from each other in light intensity, the content of P in soil, depth of compact soil layer, number of species, as well as in cover-abundance of species representing different life forms, dispersal types, habitat affiliations and origins. Trampling leads to low plant cover and height of the undergrowth, as well as contributing to shallow localization of the compact soil layer near paths. Human movement on paths (walking, running, biking) with accompanying pets contributes to the successful dispersal of plants, resulting in high species richness. High light intensity in urban parks enhances the total number of species, cover-abundance of meadow and grassland plants, as well as cover-abundance of hemicryptophytes. The number of alien species was higher in parks than in forests, but the cover-abundance of alien plants was higher in forests than in parks. Urban forests are more suitable for the growth and biomass production of some alien herbs than urban parks, as mowing commonly used in parks appears to be an important factor in reducing their cover abundance. Regular fertilization and irrigation contribute to the high content of phosphorus in the soil, as well as to the high cover-abundance of meadow and grassland plants in urban parks. Urban forests enhance cover abundance of plants with dispersal mechanisms of the Bidens and Lycopodium types, whereas urban parks promote cover abundance of plants with the dispersal of the Allium type. Further study is needed to confirm the role of urban forests and parks in the preservation of ancient forest species, as well as to develop an appropriate design of paths that will allow the protection of vegetation and soil in urban forests and parks.
