| Summary: | Trees are an important urban resource and should be looked at as a critical piece of urban
infrastructure. With effective planning and management, urban trees and forests will provide
a wide range of important benefits to urbanites. International Colleague of Advanced
Technology Sarawak (lCA TS) set up at Tabuan Jaya and is still under development or
ongoing construction. There has not yet been a measured of Species Diversity:' The main aim
of this project is to assess the diversity of trees in the ICA TS. The assessment is determined
by calculating the number of tree species and diameter breast height (DBH) of each species.
Species diversity index (SDI) of trees at ICATS is 9.48 and is considered relatively low. The
149 trees enumerated in the study area include 15 species. The most abundant species is
Areca triandra species was dominant species contributing 23 individual trees. Samanea
saman is the second as the most dominant species contributing 21 individual trees. |
