Inventaires Papetiers to assess the forest resources in French Guiana between 1972 and 1976.

The “Inventaire Papetier” was conducted by the CTFT (Centre Technique Forestier Tropical became CIRAD in 1984) and ONF between 1972 and 1976. To assess the forest resources in French Guiana, the forest was divided in large blocks along the coast (4 blocks near St Laurent, 4 blocks near Kourou and Sinnamary, 6 southern of Cayenne). Within the blocks, the forest was inventoried in 25*200m plots placed every 200-400m on parallel lines separated by 1 to 3km. The DBH was measured in 10cm classes, starting at 10cm, 15cm, or 20cm.
