Description
| 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). |
