Abstract
English
Natural forests in the highland areas of Aceh Province play an important role in maintaining ecosystem balance; however, pressure from human (anthropogenic) activities has the potential to reduce tree quality and health. This study aims to assess tree health status and identify the anthropogenic factors affecting it in the natural forest of the customary forest area of Beungga Village, Aceh Province, using the Forest Health Monitoring (FHM) method, which evaluates tree damage through the Tree Damage Level Index (TDLI) and crown condition through Visual Crown Rating (VCR), along with Likert scale analysis to examine anthropogenic factors. The results show that overall tree health is relatively good, with an average value of 6.7 (very healthy category). The most dominant type of damage is open wounds on tree stems, largely caused by human activities, while crown conditions are generally in the good category, indicating that the physiological functions of trees remain optimal. The most influential anthropogenic factors are illegal logging and forest encroachment, both categorized as high based on the Likert scale. Overall, although pressure from human activities persists, tree health condition in this area remains relatively good, though it still requires sustainable management and monitoring to maintain forest ecosystem stability. Keywords: tree health; anthropogenic factors; Forest Health Monitoring (FHM); customary forest.

Hutan alam di wilayah daratan tinggi Provinsi Aceh memiliki peran penting dalam menjaga keseimbangan ekosistem, namun tekanan aktivitas manusia (antropogenik) berpotensi menurunkan kualitas dan kesehatan pohon. Kondisi ini menuntut adanya kajian yang mampu menggambarkan status kesehatan pohon sekaligus mengidentifikasi faktor penyebab kerusakannya. penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menilai status kesehatan pohon serta mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor antropogenik yang memengaruhi kesehatan pohon pada hutan alam kawasan hutan adat di Provinsi Aceh Penelitian ini dilakukan pada hutan alam Kawasan hutan adat Desa Beungga dengan menggunakan metode Forest Health Monitoring (FHM), yang menilai indikator kerusakan pohon melalui Tree Damage Level Index (TDLI) dan kondisi tajuk melalui Visual Crown Rating (VCR), serta analisis skala Likert untuk mengkaji faktor antropogenik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kondisi kesehatan pohon relatif baik, dengan nilai rata-rata 6,7 (kategori sangat sehat) di Desa Beungga. Tipe kerusakan yang paling dominan adalah luka terbuka pada batang pohon, yang sebagian besar disebabkan oleh aktivitas manusia. Kondisi tajuk secara umum berada pada kategori baik, yang menunjukkan bahwa fungsi fisiologis pohon masih berjalan optimal. Faktor antropogenik yang paling berpengaruh adalah penebangan ilegal dan perambahan hutan dengan kategori tinggi berdasarkan skala Likert. Secara keseluruhan, meskipun tekanan aktivitas manusia masih terjadi, kondisi kesehatan pohon pada kedua kawasan hutan masih tergolong baik, namun tetap memerlukan pengelolaan dan pengawasan yang berkelanjutan untuk menjaga stabilitas ekosistem hutan.
