Floristic composition in a network of about 100 transects across terra firme forests in Gabon since 2006

This dataset gathers the floristic composition in a network of about 100 transects across terra firme forests in Gabon, considering stems above or equal to 5 cm diameter at breast height. In each transect, the following data are collected : 1. Diameter at breast height (dbh), 2. Species identification. Herbarium samples are conserved at the Herbarium of the Université Libre de Bruxelles (BRLU, Belgium) and the database is frequently updated by ULB's botanists. 3. GPS geolocation. These data are collected and used by Evolutionnary Biology and Ecology unit from the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) and Missouri Botanical Garden (MBG), Central Africa Program.
