Our overall goal was to examine forest condition across different land use types through measurement of various biotic, abiotic, and anthropogenic variables.  Thirty-six permanent 0.05-ha circular plots were established along an urban-rural gradient near Columbus, Ga, USA.  In general, forest structure did not differ by land use type for the majority of variables measured. However, urban forests contained less total tree and hardwood species than developing or rural areas. Regarding forest condition, no differences were observed for pest or disease incidence by land use, but more mechanical injury (broken branches, wounds, etc.) was found in urban locales. Lichens were the most sensitive indicator of possible changes in forest condition.  Lichen incidence, abundance, and species richness were the greatest in rural forests and the least in urban locations. These factors were related to several indicators of urbanization such as housing density and distance from roads.  In this case study subtle, but significant changes in forest structure and condition may have resulted from alterations in land use patterns.
