A broader diversity of trees IS needed in urban forest to guard aga in st large sca le of devastation by msect and pest diseases. A sW'vey was earned oul (0 assess the level of urban tree diversity a l Unimas East campus and UITM campus. Species diversity index (SDI) of Unimas East campus and UiTM campus was 2.S 1 and 8.06 respec tivel y. The latter was conSidered high compare to otJlers Asean country. A lotal of 262 crees and 264 Lrees at Unlmas East campus and UiTM campus were enumerated in
10 plots of 20m x 20m . There were 16 species from 10 familie s at Unimas East campus and 21 species from 15
familIes at UiTM campus. Andira slirinamemis (Bondt) Splitg. ex Pulle and Syzygium grande were the most
abundant specIes eono·ibuting the highest carbon storage o f 38058.47 kg and 16795.40 kg at Unlmas East
