2022 forest structure inventory data from degraded, natural, and restored mangrove forests along the Guyana coastline. The dataset includes diameter at breast height (DBH) and tree height measurements, collected by Sabrina Dookie and published under a CC-BY-4.0 license. It was used to compare tree structure across different ecosystem types in administrative regions 4-6.
Use Cases
- Compare forest structure metrics between natural, restored, and degraded mangrove ecosystems based on DBH and tree height.
- Model mangrove biomass and carbon sequestration potential based on tree size measurements.
- Assess the success of mangrove restoration efforts along the Guyana coastline based on comparative inventory data.
Strengths
- Data collection year (2022) is explicitly stated.
- Associated publication provides a complete methodological account via DOI.
- Covers three distinct ecosystem types: degraded, natural, and restored.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
