Mangrove Forest Structure Inventory for Guyana Coastline, 2021

Forest structure inventory data collected in 2021 includes diameter at breast height and tree heights for mangrove forests in villages along the Guyana coastline. Sabrina Dookie authored this dataset to compare vegetation structure between natural, restored, and degraded ecosystems. The 62.7 MB dataset is associated with a published methodology paper.

Use Cases

• Compare forest structure metrics between natural, restored, and degraded mangrove ecosystems based on the described inventory.
• Model carbon stocks in mangrove forests based on diameter at breast height and tree height data.
• Assess the success of mangrove restoration projects along the Guyana coastline based on structural data.
• Analyze spatial patterns of mangrove degradation along a coastal gradient based on village-level sampling.

Strengths

• Data is associated with a peer-reviewed publication providing a complete methodological account.
• Dataset size is 62.7 MB, suggesting a substantial collection of measurements.
• Data has a specific temporal coverage (collected in 2021).
• License is CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse with attribution.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Geographic coverage is limited to villages along the Guyana coastline.
