Abstract: |
The dataset contains wood density measures (n=3820) from 822 trees (55 species, 16 families) destructively sampled in six countries of central Africa. Wood density estimations are reported for six tree compartments along tree vertical profile, from the stump to the smallest branches. Field and laboratory protocols are described in publications associated to these data, notably Fayolle et al. (2018, Forest ecology and management) and Momo & Ploton et al. (2020, Scientific Reports). |
Time Period: |
2015-2017 |
Notes: |
These data have been collected in the frame of the regional project on REDD+ “Establishment of allometric equations for forest types in the Congo Basin” grant N° TF010038 from the Global Environment Facility administered by the World Bank and implemented by COMIFAC. Data collection was carried out by INDEFOR-AP (Equatorial Guinea), IRET (Gabon), the University of Yaoundé 1 (Cameroon), the University of Bangui (CAR), the University of Marien Ngouabi (Congo) and the University of Kisangani (DRC). |
