The main activity of botanic gardens is the recording of plants collection data in the accessible database form which also includies the dead record of trees collection. The dynamic data of dead tree collection not only important as a monitoring tool of the number of garden specimens, but also as a base of the decision-making process in entire botanic gardens’ landscape management especially in facing an increased worldwide threat to the plants’ diversity and its habitat. Bogor Botanic Gardens (BBG) has been developing over 202 years since the institution establishment in 1817. The research about dead trees collection at BBG was conducted using a quantitative descriptive method by identifying dead trees specimen’s data based on the number, family and location during the last 20 years. From the field of specimen’s location in the database, data was analyzed spatially to produce a map of dead tress distribution based on planting blocks (vak). A deeper interpretation of the distribution map might be a valuable source for the management recomendation for the collection’s maintenance practice of sustainable management’s support in the future.
