The dataset contains information of Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) of 8,729 trees. These trees are distributed in 29 RAINFOR network forest plots across the Brazilian Amazon, comprising the states of Acre, Mato Grosso and Pará. All the plot censuses are located in terra-firme non-flooded lowland forests. The measurements were collected between 2017 and 2019.
The Amazon Forest Inventory Network is a long-term, international collaboration to understand the dynamics of Amazon ecosystems. Since 2000 they have developed a framework for systematic monitoring of forests from the ground-up, centred on plots that track the fate of trees and species, and includes soil and plant biogeochemical records, as well as intensive monitoring of carbon cycle processes at some sites. RAINFOR works with partners across the nations of Amazonia to support and sustain forest monitoring and help develop new generations of Amazon ecologists. The work of RAINFOR is currently supported by funding agencies in Brazil, the UK, and the EU.

Provenance & quality
We re-censused 29 plots in the Brazilian Amazon, located in the states of Acre, Pará and Mato Grosso. In total, 8,729 trees and new recruited trees >=10 cm diameter at breast height (DBH) had diameter measured following the RAINFOR protocol. We also collected data on state of the alive trees and dead trees.
After the field campaigns, we uploaded the date to the forestplot.net platform.
The field campaigns were conducted between 2017 and 2019.
