| Popis: | Urban green space has various benefits, including as a conservation area for different plant species. As a green open space in Medan, the Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU) campus plays an important role. It performs a dual function as a means of conserving various types of trees that have multiple benefits, including as a producer of wood. Until now, information about the diversity of wood-producing tree species in the green space of the USU campus has not been found. This research was conducted to fill in the gaps in information regarding the diversity of wood-producing species in the green space of the USU campus, Medan. This research was conducted using a comprehensive tree inventory method by investigating the types, uses, and levels of wood strength found in various growing trees. The results showed that 19 tree species had durable class I to II (very durable and durable), 83 tree species had strength class I-III, 38 did not have durable class information, and 36 did not have strength class information. Two tree species that have an endangered status are Shorea parvifolia and Pterocarpus indicus. |
