Damage to trees by disease, air pollution, weather, or human activities can affect the health of forests and can also be an indication of overall forest health. Count all the trees in the plot, marking the trees with colored chalk to help you keep track. Note trees that have one or more signs of disease or damage (see below). To count it as diseased or damaged, 10 percent or more of the tree should be affected. Calculate the percentage of all trees in the plot that have such signs.
