Africadiv Mindourou II: inventory of tree species, snapshot as of 31 december 2016, Cameroon.
Description
Africadiv is a network of 1-ha forest monitoring plots spread across the moist forests in central Africa. This dataset holds the inventory of tree species in the Cameroonian site of Mindourou II. In each plot, the diameter at breast height (DBH) of all trees with DBH ≥ 10 cm have been measured (n=5598). All trees were identified in the field by expert botanists. Leaves samples were frequently collected for genetic analyses along with herbarium samples. The herbarium and leave samples are conserved at the Herbarium of the Université Libre de Bruxelles (BRLU, Belgium) and the determination of the samples is frequently updated by ULB's botanists. End of 2016, the identification rate was: 56.4% on species-level, 26.2% on genus-level, 11.7% on family-level. 5.7% remained unidentified.
