Abstract

Abstract. Yulia IT, Permatasari DP, Igustita, Berlin GE, Safira RN, Sugiyarto, Nazar IA, Himawan W, Sunarto, Pradhan P, Setyawan AD. 2023. Assessing the suitability of tree species for urban green space in a tropical university campus in Surakarta, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 1713-1723. The presence of tree vegetation plays an important role in urban ecosystem. It provides various ecological and sociocultural functions from comforting micro-climates to beautification of the landscape. The central campus of Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) in Kentingan, Surakarta City, Central Java, Indonesia, has various tree species that grow well and become a constituent part of the campus area. This central campus environment has been considered one of the urban forests for city of Surakarta. This study aimed to determine the tree diversity occurring in the campus area of Universitas Sebelas Maret and to assess the suitability of the tree species based on silviculture, management and aesthetic aspects. Data collection was conducted by field observations at four stations: east, west, north, and south. Across the stations, the name of the tree species with minimum diameter breast height of 10 cm, the size of the tree’s circumference, the coordinates of the location of the tree, and tree’s morphological characteristics were documented. Each tree was then assessed for suitability for urban green space by scoring based on several silviculture, management and aesthetic criteria indicators. The results found 106 tree species in the studied area. Among them, 69 species (65%) had high suitability level, while 34 other species (32%) and 3 species (3%) were in the medium and low category, respectively. Some species with the highest score of 45 were kayu putih (Melaleuca leucadendra (L.) L), mimba (Azadirachta indica A.Juss.) and nyamplung (Calophyllum inophyllum L.), while the lowest score of 28 was kamboja (Plumeria acuminata W.T.Aiton). Species with high score are therefore recommended to be used in urban green space in the university area, and vice versa. The findings of this study suggest that vegetation suitability planning can be carried out to ensure the sustainability and balance of ecological functions of urban green space.

Abstract. Madjid AA, Wulandari AA, Dzihni A, Simanjuntak MPD, Chairunisa S, Dewangga A, Himawan W, Buot Jr IE, Setyawan AD. 2025. Diversity of urban street tree communities in Semarang District, Indonesia. Nusantara Bioscience 17: 337-353. Roadside vegetation plays an important role in maintaining ecological functions, microclimate regulation, and environmental quality in rapidly urbanizing tropical landscapes. This study examined the diversity, composition, and functional structure of urban street trees across five major 10-km roadside corridors in Semarang District, Central Java, Indonesia. Field surveys conducted in September 2024 recorded 2,091 individuals representing 53 species, 47 genera, and 26 families, and classified into functional categories based on ecological and management attributes. Species richness and abundance varied markedly among routes. The Bandungan-Kaloran corridor showed the highest richness and stability, while the Ungaran-Cangkiran corridor exhibited the strongest species dominance, and the Semarang-Bawen corridor had the lowest richness. Three species-Swietenia mahagoni, Polyalthia longifolia, and Mangifera indica-emerged as district-wide dominants. Functional composition was heavily skewed toward Ornamental Plant (OP) and Timber Plants (TP), with Frugivory-supporting species (Fr) providing secondary ecological roles. Diversity indices (Shannon, Simpson, Margalef, and Evenness) revealed substantial spatial heterogeneity: peri-urban routes showed balanced community structures, whereas highly built-up corridors exhibited low diversity and high dominance. These patterns highlight the influence of urbanization intensity, planting space limitations, and disturbance pressure on roadside vegetation structure. These findings highlight the need for more diversified and functionally balanced street tree planting strategies to enhance the sustainability and resilience of urban green infrastructure in Semarang District and other rapidly developing tropical cities.
