Amazon Basin Tree Diameter Census Across 29 Forest Plots, 2017-2019

Amazon Basin data contains Diameter at Breast Height measurements for 8,729 trees. Measurements were collected between 2017 and 2019 across 29 RAINFOR network permanent plots in the Brazilian states of Acre, Mato Grosso, and Pará.

Use Cases

• Analyze Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) distributions across 29 forest plots to study regional growth patterns.
• Model tree growth dynamics using DBH measurements from 8,729 trees in terra-firme non-flooded lowland forests.
• Investigate forest structure by correlating DBH data with plot locations across the Brazilian Amazon states.

Strengths

• Contains 8,729 individual tree measurements.
• Data spans 29 distinct forest plots across three Brazilian states.
• Measurements are from a standardized, long-term monitoring network (RAINFOR).

Limitations

• Unknown number of columns or additional features beyond DBH.
• Geographic scope is limited to three Brazilian states within the Amazon Basin.
• Data is static from a 2017-2019 census, not a live time series.
