Ocjena kvaliteta i zdravstvenog stanja urbanog zelenila u kampusu Univerziteta u Sarajevu i ulici Zmaja od bosne

This paper analyzes the health status of urban trees in the Campus area of the University of Sarajevo, with a particular focus on wood decay, mechanical damage, and the impact of maintenance practices. A total of 507 trees were evaluated for taxonomic composition, vitality decline symptoms, presence of pests, and the need for maintenance interventions. The results showed a statistically significant correlation between decay and damage to the root collar and major trunk injuries. Maintenance measures, especially pruning and soil loosening, had a positive effect on reducing symptoms of tree decline. Pests were also recorded, particularly on small-leaved linden and horse chestnut. The findings highlight the importance of regular monitoring, selection of resistant species, and an integrated approach to urban greenery management, especially in light of climate change and increasing urban stressors.
