The goal of this study is to determine the variety of tree species in parks and gardens across Ibadan's metropolitan region.
For data collection, a total enumeration was done; all trees in urban parks and gardens were recognised. The tree's species similarity and diversity were calculated.
Between April 2019 and March 2020, Department of Forestry Technology, Federal College of Forestry, Ibadan, Nigeria, Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria, Parks and gardens within the urban area of Ibadan city, Nigeria, Department of Forestry Technology, Federal College of Forestry, Ibadan, Nigeria, Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria, Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management, Federal University of Agriculture.
The parks and gardens were discovered using a Google Earth photograph. All of the trees in the parks and gardens were recognised by their species and family. It was also calculated the density, species richness, relative abundance, similarity, diversity, and evenness. The species diversity was estimated using the Shannon-Wiener diversity index, Simpson's diversity index, and Pielou's species evenness index.
The results show that there are 82 species spread over 34 families, with Senna sesame and Fabaceae being the most prevalent species and family, respectively. Exotic and evergreen species predominate among the 2,471 trees that make up the forest. The diversity, similarity, and richness of species were all rather high.
Conclusion: The study allows researchers to assess the contribution of urban parks and gardens to a city's ecological integrity and health, which is useful information for developing practical conservation policies.
