Africadiv Mindourou II: a network of forest monitoring plots in Cameroon since 2013
Description
Africadiv is a network of 1-ha forest monitoring plots spread across the moist forests in central Africa. The Cameroonian site of Mindourou II is composed of 12 1-ha forest plots. The following data are available for the different plots at this site:
Structure - DBH of all trees ≥ 10 cm DBH : n = 5 598
Structure - Tree height : n = 920
Structure - Trunk height : n = 667
Structure - Crown diameter : n = 233
Identification rate - species-level : 56.4 %
Identification rate - genus-level : 26.2 %
Identification rate - family-level : 11.7 %
Identification rate - unidentified : 5.7 %
Soil samples & analyses available : YES
Geolocation : GPS points and laser measurements (distance, vertical & horizontal angles) every 20 m on the contour of the plot.
These data are routinely collected and used by AMAP research unit (IRD) and partners (LaboSyst, Yaoundé 1 University). Scientific collaboration are welcomed, please get in touch with a Point of contact.
