Thirty-two years of inventory data (1986–2018) from the GUYADIV forest plot network in French Guiana, covering 100 ha and 90,000 trees
Key message
The GUYADIV dataset compiles inventory data from over 100 hectares of lowland tropical forest plots across French Guiana, encompassing 90,000 trees from 1,393 species. It provides a solid foundation for investigating patterns of diversity and function in tropical tree communities at multiple spatial scales. It is available at https://doi.org/10.23708/RLYCVQ; and the associated metadata at https://metadata-afs.nancy.inra.fr/geonetwork/srv/fre/catalog.search#/metadata/da2fb3a7-8669-499d-b8c1-258da68b8f85
